Selecting the last character in a text bloc

Hi @Bruno5C9A:

Is this something new, or has this behavior been happening forever? My observation is if I press my mouse button down while I'm in the middle of the last letter in a string, it doesn't pick it up the final character. If I press down when I'm on the right of the last letter on the string it does. It appears as if you are over middle the last character but of course we can't see you press your finger down so we don't know.

the pointer always positions before the last character.

Can you check to see if it is a display issue? (If you did check, you didn't say.)

• Try changing the formatting with Bold or Red or a different typesize (then undo). Does the last character get formatted?
• When you cut or delete (then undo), does the last character get deleted?
• When you are "manually selecting" are you dragging the mouse or using Shift + the arrow keys?

Also:

• Are you starting at the beginning or starting at the end?
• Are you selecting an entire paragraph or part of a paragraph?

One thing to note is that if you drag from the end of a paragraph to the beginning, it's imposssible to select the pilcrow.

I apologize for the long delay in seeing and answering your post.
