Cannot Select Text Box with Select Tool

New Here ,
Oct 29, 2019 Oct 29, 2019

Previously (just yesterday) I was able to create my own text on a pdf using the "Add Text Comment" tool and then select the "Selection Tool for Text and Images" tool to select the text box I had just created, highlighting the box bordering the text. I would then be able to use the arrow keys on my keyboard to put it exactly where I wanted. My computer (Windows 10) forcefully updated itself yesterday and at first I only noticed visual changes to the Office Suite. But now when I go to select my text boxes in Acrobat, instead of the select tool selecting the text box as a whole, it goes straight to editing the text (when previously I would have had to double-click to acheive that). I've tried everything and even hovering over the edge of the box until I get the crossed-arrow move symbol and then clicking but it does the same thing. The only way I can move it is if I click and drag it, but I want to be able to use my arrow keys. Thanks.
