I have written before on this subject ... but it has just happened again and is, grrr, fresh in mind. Periodically, in the course of selecting text, something unexpected happens. The text is selected ... but the cursor becomes a a circle with a slash through it ... the universal 'disallowed sign'. I cannot left click. Or middle click. If I right click I get a little picture of speech-bubble ... a square speech bubble ... nothing changes. I founder around for several minutes each time, trying desperately to leave this 'mode' ... Eventually I do ... repair the damage done to my text ... go on with my work. I don't know what it is I do that causes me to enter this 'mode' ... nor do I know what it is I eventually do to leave it. I'd appreciate any insight into this 'feature'. -- "This message may have been intercepted and read by U.S. government agencies including the FBI, CIA, and NSA and/or the present government of Thailand without notice or warrant or knowledge of sender or recipient."
