How to copy highlighted text when editing a doc
In Dropbox Essentials on Windows 11 pro , when I am in edit mode and I highlight text, I cannot copy the highlighted text to paste onto another document. Is there a solution to this.? Right clicking ...
I found that Firefox does allow me to copy by right-clicking on highlighted text- but I was not able to do so in Chrome or Edge
I have the same problem in Word. I cleared the cache and tried another browser. Still unable to select text. This makes my work complicated!

Thanks for posting this on our forum, jlacoste.
Can you also try an incognito window as an extra step?
Are you facing this issue with all Word files and when did you notice this behavior for the first time?
Using a Firefox "Private browsing" window did not change anything. So far, it's happening to all the Word files I worked with. The problem started yesterday. I loose a lot of precious time with this bug. When will things be back to normal?
Had the same issue since yesterday; for me it worked by deleting all cookies. Using Firefox.
EDIT: 3 hours later and the issue reoccurred.
