Gmail. email opens instead of selects

[Moltres_rider]

I have a problem with Gmail where when I click an email box to put a checkmark on it to select it, the email would at random times open rather than place a checkmark by it to indicate selected.

I googled the problem but nothing came up

I'm guessing you're using the Gmail app? Or are you using the desktop site?
The gmail app doesn't show any boxes I can check. I have to either mark them unread or delete them one by one.
