Ok, something new ..

I have now found another way to make it work ..

I first have to left click where I want the highlight to start, than I go to where in the text I want it to stop and then hold down shift and left click again. It will then highlight all the text in between the two points.

So while this is very nice that I have found some ways to circumvent the problem, my original question still stands.

How have I lost the traditional ability to click, drag and highlight and how do I get it back ?
