I know I'm just being stupid, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to unlock an object that I locked so I wouldn't select it by accident...

As far as I know you can only lock layers? Maybe check your layers instead.

Wulfy - if you select a sprite, you can select "lock > lock selection". That's what I can't figure out how to undo.

The only way I see is to right click (even though you can't select it with left click ofc) on it again and unlock all or unlock all on Layer, then I can select it again.

Wulfy - yeah, that only seems to unlock the layer, but not the locked sprite. Hmm....

Wulfy already gave you the right answer. I just tried it and it works.

Ah I misunderstood; I thought you meant right click the layer in the layer properties, not the actual layer itself. I got it to work for a new sprite I tested, but I can't seem to find the one I'm having an issue with, and it seems I'm not creating it anywhere in the event system. I'll just resort to deleting the object and recreating it for now.

Thanks for both your help!
