Unable to select pins in layout

I'd like to select some pins so I can move them. However, clicking on them, whether in the layout, navigator, or schematic, does not select them in the layout. All layers and objects are set to be selectable in the palette. What am I doing wrong? I'm using IC6.1.7-64b.78.

Perhaps use Window→Assistants→Dynamic Selection and then hover over the pin - you can then check if it's on a different layer-purpose. If unselectable, it will be in italics. I did wonder whether you might have used Selection Protection (under Edit->Select) but normally that would show with a halo around the protected shapes.

Thank you so much! Somehow the purpose was set to gapfill, I changed it in the pin placement window and now I can select the pins again.
