rizzosan67 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Selecting concatenated text on two or more pages is difficult, sometimes works other no. It doesn't matter how big the document is, even a document of a few pages presents this problem.

Old Bruce Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 You could try turning this off. It seems counterintuitive to turn off Hardware Acceleration but this thing causes all sorts of problems.

I've been doing a lot of selection like that recently, and I haven't had any problems as long as the text is in linked text frames. I just click at the start point, and drag my mouse to the end point. What problems are you having when it doesn't work?

Staff NathanC Posted June 9, 2022 Staff Share Posted June 9, 2022 Hi @rizzosan67, If disabling H/A hasn't had an impact, it would be beneficial if you could provide us with a screen recording demonstrating your issue. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizzosan67 Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 I follow the same procedure (Walt.farrell) select the text from start to finish, passing through two or more pages, sometimes everything works, other times the last piece of text is not selected or is selected with a lax of delay. Now I will try to disable the Metal calculation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizzosan67 Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 Disabling completely Metal and replacing it with OpenGL... things do not change, indeed the complete selection appears only after moving the cursor page up or down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomaso Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Do you get the same delay / issue with other methods of text selection, e.g. if you … … don't select but just place the text cursor at the wanted text start –> then scroll down to the desired page –> then press Shift + click at the end of text selection? … select all text of all linked frames not by dragging but via key command? … select all of all linked frames with a fivefold click at any point of the text? And does it matter if you zoom out to see more than just 2 – 3 spreads in the main window while selecting the text? Like so…: Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
