IngridSzalies Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 When I want to edit text - either shift the text into another position or alter the size by dragging the text box - I can't and the drop box shown in the photo appears. What am I misdoing?? Thanks for your help as I have no idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markw Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Your screenshot shows what I would expect to see if you have performed a right click on the word ‘to’ in your text with the Text tool. To move the Text Box to another position you need to switch to the Move tool and then you can drag the box to where you want it.

If I’m not mistaken you get the same result on a Mac if you Control-click. You need to left-click, not right-click, if you want to drag an object or one of its adjustment handles to a new position.

IngridSzalies Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Thank you for your hints. I tried once again, for example to drag the text more to the right, but still can't manage. I use the trackpad so it would be a one-finger-click which means a left-click but the result is strangely enough the same as if I would use 2 fingers/right-click. Do you have an idea what might be wrong??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IngridSzalies Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Sorry, I think I have found the answer. It seems to have to do with the strength of pressing the finger on the trackpad. I didn't know that I was so strong 😳Thank you again for your help! markw and Alfred 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
