new UI button working only on mobile not editor

So it’s that simple and that weird.

The button does not respond to my mouse at all (hover or click) in the editor, but when I install it on my mobile, buttons work fine (can be pressed and functions are called).

I tried adding en eventsystem (which was automatically added to my GameController), I tried playing the canvas attributed, and the buttons attributes, but nothing gets it to work.

Can anyone please help?
I’m stuck for a whole day on this and can’t progress till it’s working.

When I open a new project and make a button all works fine, so it must be some kind of setting that needs to be changed…
