Post Edit Text Producing Same Text Constantly Anchored to My Cursor
I feel I have not changed my methods for editing a "rectangle text" in a layout, but this has been occurring lately and it's driving me bonkers.
See how my cursor looks below before I double click into the text box:
I double-click the text box, which highlights the text in blue as shown below:
After I make my text edits, I click somewhere outside the text box where there are no other objects, and my cursor is now 'equipped' with the text that I originally double-clicked into...and it's the 'old text' not the modified text i just made edits to.
The text follows my cursor everywhere and when I click, nothing happens (I thought it would place an instance of that text box every time I click - but it doesn't). I have tried clicking the select tool in the Layout ribbon and the cursor changes to the
Four arrow style BUT THE TEXT IS STILL THERE - anchored to the cursor where ever i move it and I cannot actually select any other object on my layout. I've hit clear selection and the text is still there.
The only way I have found to stop this is by closing the layout and reopening it...so long as I do not edit text again.
I swear I have edited text this way in the past and never had this issue. I would greatly appreciate any help or understanding of why this is happening. Thanks!
