Can't select words in paragraph texts (Designer/Publisher)

Hi,

It seems I am not able to select a single word/multiple words with the mouse in paragraph texts. Doubleclicking selects all the text in the textbox, and click-drag does not work. Coincidentally, this does not work in Vectorstyler either, but it does work in LibreOffice.

I had a Windows10 update the other day, and I'm not sure this has anything to do with this, but now CorelDraw won't load either (it complains about VGCore missing). Could this be related to this?

Nevermind, it seems only happening when the filler text is used.

Yes, that is a characterstic of Filler Text. To resolve it, right-click in the text and choose Expand Field from the context menu. There's a Preference you can set to always insert Filler Text as normal text, but that removes all its special characteristics (such as reflowing to fill the Text Frame), so you may not want that.

Congratulations on figuring out the problem, and thanks for letting us know.
