Editor Mode not working

When in editor mode I am not able to use any drag-selection tools, nor am I able to open any inventories. This makes the editor unusable. I have tried turning off all mods, uninstalling all mods, uninstalling/reinstalling factorio. Nothing fixes this problem! I notice that when I reinstall factorio it saves all my maps and preferences even though I have steam cloud completely disabled. Is there any method I could use to completely fresh install my game without cloud saved data to maybe fix the problem? What other things should I do to try and trouble shoot?

At one point my editor was working fine, but ever since playing space exploration it just doesnt work.

In Windows Explorer, type %APPDATA% in the address bar and delete the Factorio folder.

Thank you. I notice that upon deleting my config folder stuff starts to work normally again. Not sure what is causing this, but that fixed it.
