When deleting blocks using the eraser, the blocks will only be erased after the player releases the mouse button. This means that if you use a keybind to switch to another tool, you will select a ghost block. Furthermore, any blocks placed from this ghost block will not be selectable until the player deletes/paints over the original ghost block.

I remember to see someone reporting this bug as well, but was on the outdated bug report into the game Discord server. However, this is something to be fixed at least.

Perfect timing, I’m currently fixing collision issues related to tools. Expect an update soon 😃
