Problems editing text blocks

[line-weight]

Having some frustrations with VW2018 (SP4) where it becomes difficult to edit large-ish blocks of text - the text-edit cursor refuses to place the cursor within the text, only at the end, which means that wherever there's a large block of text, to edit something near the beginning of it I have to navigate the cursor all the way up from the bottom using the arrow keys.

 

It also means it's not possible to highlight sections of text to copy/delete.

 

This seems to happen about 75% of the time, sometimes it works ok.

 

Is this a known issue?

This is still causing me annoyance in VW2018 SP5.1

 

Am I alone?

No, you're not! I thought we were the only ones. We see this almost always. For us the cursor refuses to move until one fiddles with the alignment settings once, eg. changing the alignment to right and then back to left. After this operation the cursor can be walked to the correct location. It almost never goes to the clicked position directly. This is a small but really annoying issue.

 

I think 2017 was ok regarding this.

Seems like it's a bug then.
