To me the OP see the following issue : select a tool (for example "vertical constraint") without anything selected so you're in continuous mode. Then right click => it looks like the tool is correctly disabled, but as soon as mouse comes over a constraint/geometry, the tool is "magically" re-activated.

Hello,
I have freecad installed on both windows 10 and Debian Bookworm. I am just learning, so I wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong, or misunderstanding, but after posting on reddit with a video of the behavior, I was told to post here.
What happens: When using a tool, if I right click, the standard cursor appears momentarily. If I move the cursor over an object, however, the tool icon reappears and the tool is still active.
What (I think) should happen: If I am using a tool and right click, the standard cursor should appear and I should be able to select, move, and otherwise interact with objects.
This is kind of a pain because using escape can accidentally exit the sketch. I was given some good workarounds, and I will use them, but apparently the behavior I am seeing is not supposed to happen, so I am posting it here. Below is a link to the reddit video post - apologies for the terrible quality, but my screen recorder wasn't capturing the mouse and I didn't have time to go installing a better one for this purpose.
