Manipulator Axes become almost impossible to select.

Dear Autodesk community,

hope you're coping out there,

this minor issue seems to be lagging me behind my schedule and all the hard work is risking going to waste because of it.

I made a video to illustrate the issue. It's simple yet core and detrimental for the development process. 

I couldn't select the manipulator axis. Instead, the selection remains locked on the previous axis which I can't seem to dis-select. The specific properties of the scene are such that it has a lot of meshes ...(foliage, terrain elements like rocks) which are hidden via display layers for ease of viewport navigation...there are also lots of groups in the outliner...Also, whenever I switch on all the display layers for everything to be visible, extra interference is created, not sure if it could be relevant in terms of causation...

Good lord, it's resolved ....things that happen to you when you're bogged down in something ...save and exit, then load the scene again, it should get resolved...alternatively if it doesn't..you're stick using the inbetween selection handles in combination with the select tool...so constant switching between selection tool and move tool...but i doubt it would be necessary after reloading the scene.
