Why does this weird purple tint appear over the prop icon when trying to spawn it in GMOD

garrys-mod

Whenver I try to spawn a ragdoll or prop in Garry's Mod, this weird tint appears over it. I am given the option to delete, spawn it with a toolgun, etc. But I don't want to spawn it with a toolgun, I just want to click the icon and have the ragdoll/prop spawn. Why is this happening? And how can I fix it so I can just click the ragdoll/prop icon and have it spawn like it used to?

Sounds like you're trying to sprint (or just plain holding shift) while trying to spawn the prop. Simply release shift and click again to spawn the prop - if it persists, press shift a few times in and out of the Q menu - the game might think you're still holding it down.
