When selecting a gameObject with a camera as child, camera is pivot.

When selecting a gameObject with a camera as child and using local orientation, camera is considered pivot point, no matter which child is selected. Unity 2021.3.7f1.

Upper left is buttons: pivot / center and global / local… start toggling.

I am afraid your comment is no help or use. Quite obviously these options are to be used for editing. Like I stated, having a camera as child messes that up. Therefore you cannot edit as per normal.

Could you update to the latest LTS and record it if still there?
