All Selections Are Locked Out

SO whenever I open any of my .dwg files that were created or edited in previous versions of DraftSight, they open up, but I am unable to actually select anything and edit. I can add new objects, but I can not select the existing ones.

Sometimes I can get it to finally start functioning normally, but I'm not certain why it does. One time it was from saving as a new file, and then re-opening the file. One time it was from reading the license. One time it was from closing the program out, opening the program first and then opening the file. One time I closed the program out and then opened the file directly.

None of this makes any sense, and it is incredibly frustrating for me to not be able to do my job efficiently.
