    My hand tool icon turns to an eye icon when I hold down right-mouse button. WTF?? Why is this not discussed or explained in any tutorials, what does it do, how did it happen and how do change it back??? This keeps happening when I navigate in the Scene view and I have no idea why or what it means. Also see attached screenshot. The camera icon adds what looks like a yellow focus symbol. I have been googling for two days to try to turn this off or figure out what it is doing. Can someone please explain this?!?!

    This behavior might not be widely discussed in tutorials, which can be frustrating. The eye icon is often associated with toggling between different view modes, like wireframe and shaded views. To revert to your regular hand tool, you might need to check your software's preferences or settings for a way to switch it back. As for the camera icon adding a yellow focus symbol, that could indicate a focus or selection mode. For a more specific solution, it would be helpful to know which software you're using.
