Can't select anything in sketch unless Dimension Tool active (happened suddenly)

Everything was fine.. until it stopped being fine and I noticed that I can't select anything in a sketch, be it a new sketch or existing one. Neither geometry (lines, nodes), nor dimensions can be selected, unless the Dimension Tool is active.

 

Obviously, with Dimension Tool active I can't do much, because invoking any other tool will automatically disable the Dimension and I am back to the situation where nothing can be selected.

* video proof attached.

 

Not sure what to do in this situation, seems to be a bug.

 

Please advise.

@petrara - check your selection filter:

If some of those checkboxes are not on, it will affect what you can select in the default selection command

Thanks, I had forgotten my selection setting on "Select Body Priority" and got freaked out why can't select inside sketch :))
Your suggestion to check filters helped me to observe my previous mistake. Thank you.

 

As a suggestion:
- selection priority should be (temporary) reset when working inside a sketch. Fusion should be "smart enough" to anticipate the obvious user interaction and help avoiding such mistakes. Maybe this feature should be elevated to the developing team...
