all but one text character gets selected with my cursor

[JBrown321]

When using my cursor to highlight text, the last character will always be omitted from the selection.

And you all here are wondering nobody is caring to comment on your passive aggressive posts? If you ar really as enjoyed as you say by this minor bug that is probably hard to kill, then write a letter to Shantanu Narayen. Maybe this is more effective than your posts here!

This is crazy. My work pays $16,000 for Adobe CC licenses and we are seriously rethinking it with bugs like this.

Hi everyone,

Thank you again for reporting this issue when selecting text. This issue was fixed in a previous version ( AE 22.4 ) but then resurfaced in the subsequent version ( AE 22.5 ). I apologize for the confusion and frustration around which versions contained the fix. It is never our intent for fixes to remain in Beta without moving into the release version; in this case, the issue was fixed in Beta, moved to release in 22.4, but then resurfaced in both the ongoing Beta and 22.5.

There is now a fix for the resurfaced issue that is available in After Effects (Beta) 23.0.0.25 and later. Please give this build a try if you can and let us know how it is working for you when selecting text. This fix can then be included in a future release of After Effects 23.0.

Please note that the latest versions of the Beta builds have different minimum OS requirements than the release versions and also require additional steps to make project files backward compatible due to the updated project version. Details are available at the links below:

* Changes to Minimum OS Requirements for After Effects 23.0 ( https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-beta-discussions/announcement-changes-to-minimum-os-req... )
* After Effects 23.0 and Project File Compatibility ( https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-beta-discussions/announcement-after-effects-23-0-and-pr... )

Thank you again for reporting ( or re-reporting ) this issue,
