In chrome, I can no longer drag to highlight text or use the click shift/click, or click control/A to highlight everything. My other browsers are fine. Anyone know what’s up? I search mouse in settings and nothing comes up. ---

It seems to happen mostly here on the dope. It makes trying to edit posts I’m writing very difficult. Google is fine. This is peculiar. If I click in my text, it doesn’t register. ---

It’s the theme on the Dope. Look in the bottom left and you’ll see that you are on Sultan’s Theme. Change it to Straight Dope v3.7.3 and all will be well. ---

Merci. That was easy which is always unexpectedly pleasant. I don’t go to ABTMB so I missed that. ---

Since this is an SDMB-specific issue, and is already being addressed in ATMB, I’m closing this.
