Inconsistent Text Selection with Double-Click and Triple-Click in InDesign CC

Since we updated to CC, I have a very good chance of this not working evey time I try it. Maybe 10% of the time, it will select the word/line as it should. My prefs are identical for this feature as they have for the past several version of InDesign. We have the same problem on two Macs here. My partner also has trouble with copy/paste in InDesign and Illustrator as well.

Anyone experiencing the same?

I also have this problem, and it's really frustrating. I'm using a Macbook Pro and OS X Yosemite.

Hi, I'm experiencing the same issue on MacBook Air 2014, 10.9.5 and Indesign CC 2014.1

I did notice it since Indesign CC and that bug remains.

The double-click is very difficult when changing the transform reference point in the application bar also.

I have the same problem with double/triple clicking in text. I think the problem is the placement of the cursor in the text. If the cursor is in between characters double clicking doesn't seem to be doing anything. You have to place the cursor on a character to select a word/sentence by double/triple clicking. Someone at Adobe should really try this out.

It seems to be working for me (InDesign CC - Windows 7), but I found that if I click to fast it will not double/triple/etc. click highlight. Which is really annoying because I'm a fast clicker. If I slow down my clicks it seems to work. Also, if I try to double/etc. click over the blinking insertion point, it doesn't usually work. I have to do my selection clicking by moving the mouse first after I've already selected the box with the text tool. This seems very buggy to me. I'm mostly just using ctrl+A when changing text (like little street name text boxes). FYI.

Just upgraded to InDesign CC and am experiencing this annoying triple-click issue as well. Adobe, fix this already!

It seems to handle differently only on my Windows Indesign CC not my mac one. it's got to be a bug.

Having same problem. Drives me nuts although my coworkers aren't bothered by it. Everyone works differently, I guess. Going back to CS6 as my productivity is slowed.

Yes, I too have the selection problem. It is an awful behaviour change from all prior versions of InDesign.
