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

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?

Solution 1:

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.
