  After accidentally highlighting an entire paragraph, I cannot get the cursor to reappear to allow me to continue typing. Clicking anywhere in the document just highlights the entire paragraph, while double-clicking highlights a single word (without allowing any typing to occur). Is there a fix for this?

  Can you point us to a post or post draft where you’ve seen this problem?

  Additionally, can you give us this information:

  1. Browser and version you’re using.
  2. Operating system and version you’re using.

  Once we have that information, we’ll be better able to advise.

  Thanks!

  It seems to have resolved itself by saving the draft, exiting back to the dashboard, and then reopening the document. If the problem re-occurs, I will post another question on the forums. Thanks for the reply!
