Just uupdated with PE 15. Drew a line, but cannot select it to move or adjust; entire background is what gets selected and moved. Or sometimes the object is selected and it will then move/cut from the entire background.

    You used the Line Tool?

    What operating system are you using?

    The easiest way to resize/move a line drawn with the Line Tool is to use the Shape Selection Tool, which is grouped with the other shape tools.

    I have 10.12.2, used a pencil to draw a line and also used the line tool. Have used everything I can think of. Unless I’m going crazy, always before I could select the move tool to make adjustments to the line.

    If your using the Move Tool uncheck Auto Select Layer and then whatever layer is selected in the layers panel will stay selected.

    Also check Show Bounding Box
