Was it just the workspace layers or was it also the Unselectable script? I'll check it out, but I don't think the layers would cause a problem with other scripts but I know the lock selection/unselectable script will. If you had both installed was the "enable locking" checkbox active? Just to be sure are you using the layers(2) or the original layers(1 implied) version that works via modelspace layers?

Edit: Found it! I was about to give up. I was able to recreate the problem by starting in PE mode then starting the rectangle or lasso select for objects, not faces,edges or points and that's the source of the problem. The custom rectangle and lasso scripts don't take PE mode into consideration. I wasn't able to find any link between the layers and this problem. Working on it... :bananatyping:

Oops, missed your post. I found a problem with using custom lasso/rectangle select when in PE mode. Do you have those scripts installed? I can make it happen by starting either one and then right clicking, which exits the tool part way instead of ending it. :bananatyping:

I have both rectangle and lasso custom installed but they both seem to be working fine, do you mean a R-click with layers2 functioning?

Nope, I mean totally independent of workspace layers. In fact the problem with the rectangle and lasso selection is worse than I thought. If you do the "wrong" thing you can crash trueSpace. I made an update to these selection tools, but it's only a partial fix.
