    Need cursor to select type when dragged

    Canned Pug Community Member

      There must be a preference to set but nothing I do helps...I know I've been able to do it before, but now when I put the selection arrow (black arrow) into a line of type by double clicking, I am unable to then drag the cursor to select the row of type. Triple clicking does nothing.

       

      In other words, double clicking with the selection tool places the cursor in a word, but how to then highlight the word??

       

      In Preferences, it doesn't matter if the 'Double Click to Isolate' box is checked or not and the 'Object Selection by Path Only' is unchecked.

       

      I know it's something simple.

       

      thanks!
