Cannot grab view and set any constraint in the new Constraint Layout editor in Android Studio – Photoshop

I would like to use the new Constraint Layout Editor in Android Studio but somehow I managed to build a layout I cannot edit.

Some views are overlapping and I cannot select the one I desire hence I cannot set any constraint to it.

The view is the ‘green square’ I would like to select. But there are 2 other views in the way.

Can I somehow ‘lock’ the not used, or already set views like the layers in photoshop or something…?

Please advice any help.

    You might have to restart android studio and/or invalidate caches.

    My personal advice/”answer” to you would be to leave ConstraintLayout alone until it’s been properly tested and re-implemented. I have wasted a number of days trying to get it to do what I want. My conclusion is that it’s currently so buggy as to be unusable.
