Double-click to enter a text frame - selecting text unresponsive

Ok.
So frustrating...I haven't been able to find a solution to this anywhere online.
Let's say I've got an InDesign document open, and have my selection tool (V).
I double click on a text frame (that is full of text), see that there is now a cursor inserted in the text frame, so I go to swipe or double-click to select/highlight some text, and NOTHING HAPPENS (it is unresponsive).
I wait a second, and then I can select text.
But this was not an issue in CS6 on the Mac I used to use for almost 2 years. 
I could double click on a text frame and quickly swipe text to select, it was very fast.  This second-long delay in responsiveness trips me up every time, disrupts my flow and is really, really annoying when I am selecting and editing different text boxes hundreds of times all day long.  I am using ID CC on a Windows machine now, but the CPU is super fast (16 GB ram, i7 processor) and should not be having any lag issues in InDesign. 
Does anyone else have this problem?  Is there something in the InDesign preferences that I can change, or is this a bug?

de_fault, please send a complaint to Adobe otherwise they won't fix it:
Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
Problem description: When switching from the Selection tool to the Text tool (by double-clicking in a text box) there is a 1-2 second delay before you can select text.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Make a text box and fill with text
2. Select the Selection tool (V)
3. Double-click in the text box so that you see a cursor
4. Immediately try to select text
Results:  You have to wait 1-2 seconds before you can select text.
Expected results:  There should not be a delay.  There was no delay in previous versions.

  • Adobe Reader does not open any PDF when double clicked/hit enter once.

    Adobe Reader 11 does not open when I double click/hit enter on a PDF document. I need to hit enter multiple times to open a document once. This ends up creating multiple AcroRd32.exe.
    It's very annoying that I need to hit enter multiple times even to open a single PDF file.
    This is how my task manager looks, even after closing any opened PDF file.
    I've tried re-installing adobe reader multiple times, but same issue recurs again and again.
    Please help.
    Thanks,

    It worked. I don't see why the Protected Mode is enabled in the first place, if it were to cause issues.
    Anyways, thanks Sabian,

  • Occasionally,  some of the image borders turn dark grey (medium grey is the default) and then random other  images cannot be opened with a double click.  They only open when selected using the arrows on the keyboard.  They also cannot be moved to collecti

    Occasionally,  some of the image borders turn dark grey (medium grey is the default) and then random other  images cannot be opened with a double click.  They only open when selected using the arrows on the keyboard.  They also cannot be moved to collections.  Anyone have a solution for this?

    When you say  "could not be opened"- what are you referring to?  A double click of the mouse should view the clicked image in Loupe view- the same as pressing [E] on the keyboard for an enlarged view. (And a second double-click will take you back to library grid view.)
    To "open" an image in the Development module requires you to select the image then press [D] or click on the [Develop] button.
    When you say "could not be ...moved" -what are you referring to?  Are you trying to move an image file from its place in a folder to another folder? Are you just wanting it in a collection? When you drag an image to a collection you are only placing a link to the image in the collection- not actually moving any file. The image will stay exactly where it is in its original folder and will remain as a thumbnail preview in the Library Grid view.
    Are you having any "mouse" problems that may be changing its actions in LR ?
    Do you see an exclamation mark on any image borders ?
    Let's keep working on this. I am curious to see you find an answer.

  • How to handle double click event in a text control

    Hi,
       Will u please send me information on handling double click events inside text control and also about locking and unlocking of DB tables for updation.
    Regards,
    Praba.

    Hi Prabhavathi,
    Here is how you handle double click events in Textedit control.
    1)Create a custom control in screen (say TEXT_CONTROL)
    2)In main program,
    a) Declarations:
    data: obj type ref to cl_gui_custiom_control.
          text type ref to cl_gui_textedit.
    b) Create the instance of custom container
    c) Create the instance of textedit control.
    3)Now to handle double click events , create a local class as follows.
    class shail_event definition.
    public section.
    methods:
    handle_doubleclick for event dblclick of cl_gui_textedit .
    endclass.
    class shail_event implementation.
    method handle_doubleclick .
    here do the coding for handling the double click.
    endmethod.
    endclass.
    4) Create an instance of the handler class(ie.ZSHAIL_EVENT).Let it be named hand.
    5) Define varibles for event.
    DATA: i_events TYPE cntl_simple_events,
          wa_events TYPE cntl_simple_event.
    SET HANDLER hand->handle_doubleclick for text.
    wa_events-eventid = cl_gui_textedit=>event_double_click.
    wa_events-appl_event = 'X'. "This is an application event
    APPEND wa_events TO i_events.
    6)
        CALL METHOD texte->set_registered_events
          EXPORTING
            events                    = i_events
          EXCEPTIONS
            cntl_error                = 1
            cntl_system_error         = 2
            illegal_event_combination = 3
            OTHERS                    = 4.
        IF sy-subrc <> 0.
         MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
                    WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
        ENDIF.
    These are the basic steps needed for handling events in Textedit control.You can go to SE24 and type CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT to find the associated events of the class.
    If you want the program, kindly send your mail-id so that I can mail it to you.
    Regards,
    Sylendra.

  • IPad2  All data must be selected then double clicked

    I have owned a iPhone for over a year. My new iPad2 3G has a unusuall problem. Every field selection of where you want the data to go must be highlighted and then double clicked to get the info into the box. All letters and numbers entering the box must be double clicked to display in the box. To shift from letters to numbers you must double click the number/letter key then select and double click on the key again. I can get into the Settings but there is no selection displayed for the double ckick feature to be turned off. Also I can not scroll the data up or down in the Settings area.

    Yes! I left it on to help me learn the iPad. Turning it off will now allow me to scroll up and down in General section.
    You also corrected my double click problem. Thanks.
    Cheers!

  • Double clicking on an Icon to display a frame....

    Hi! I have an icon whereby when double clicked on should display a frame. To display the icon, I have it as an ImageIcon placed on a label, which works fine. But my problem now is what kind of listener can I add to this label, if any that will cause this frame to be displayed? OR if you have an idea of going about or around this, I'll really appreciate it!! Thanks a lot in advance!!
    Cheers,
    Bolo

    Thanks a lot again Radish! It worked fine. I got another question, which I hope you'll be willing to answer. Hope I'm not being a pain in the butt?
    After the user double clicks on an icon to display a window(step by step wizard), the panel on the frame contains "back" and "next" buttons. And of course the button on the last panel will say finish instead of next. All of this is working fine. My problem is that whenever I re-launch the wizard, it displays the last panel which contains the finish button instead of the first panel. Do you have any ideas of how I can fix this? Thanks a lot in advance!!
    Cheers,

  • In SQL Worksheet, when I double click to select whole word with underscore

    Hi All
    I'm using SQL Developer 2.1 in XP. After I changed various preferences, I fid when I double click a variable such as ls_test_column, it considered it as 3 words instead of one. I know in TOAD there's a setup to consider word with underscore as one word so that when double click, the whole word can be selected. Now I have to use mouse or shift key to select variables with underscore. it's inconvenient.
    Does anyone know which preference control this? Thanks.

    It is based on the "Use Change of Case as Word Boundry" preference in the Code Editor section - if this is on, then an _ is considered a "change of case" for double click selection, amongst other things.

  • IPad's desktop-like select+double-click bug

    Suddenly my iPad is not responding as before. It is acting like a regular desktop window manager!
    Now, when I touch an app icon, the icon is selected. A thin line appear around the icon, like it would be on a normal desktop window manager. Then to launch the app I have to double click. The strange thing is that even if I double click somewhere else, it's the selected app that is launched.
    It's exactly the same for the virtual keyboard. One click select the key, two clicks (anywhere) press the key.
    If I swipe one finger left, the icon to the left is selected (and vis-versa).
    What the ****? Is this a secret features I have somehow activated?
    Is there any simple way to go back to the good-ol' multitouch interface?
    I have tried to shut down and reboot the ipad (home-click+power 5sec). Nothing works.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers

    You must have turned on voiceover. Either triple click the home button and see if that fixes it OR go to Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> VoiceOver and turn it off.

  • Selection in selectmanyshuttle by double click in jdeveloper 11.1.1.2.0 ?

    Hi ,
    Can anyone confirm me if the feature "selecting the item by double click" of selectmanyshuttle, is not there in jdeveloper 11.1.1.2.0 version?
    I am not able to select the item by doing double click.
    The items are getting selected only by using the arrow buttons provided.
    Thanks.

    (the release notes for 11.1.2)
    Double click will now shuttle items back and forth@vinod the link you posted talks about double-clicking in the JDev design-time for picking attributes... nothing whatsoever to do with double-clicking a shuttle item at run time
    So,
    this double-click feature is there from 11.1.1.1,11.1.1.2,11.1.1.3..false.

  • JTable's cell double click question...

    Hello everyone,
    My JTable has some cells with icons and text, and some contains only text.
    All cells are editable, so double clicking on it goes to "edit mode" where user enters new value for the cell.
    Here is my question: Can I somehow determine if user has clicked on an icon?
    What I'm trying to do is to put additional information for cell (some comment), and if comment exists, icon will appear.
    Double clicking on that icon, dialog will show that comment.
    Thanks in advance!

    You did not mention that before. ...You are absolutely right, I didn't.
    Let me emphasize importance of this:
    Can I somehow determine if user has clicked on an icon?
    And when I said "clicked" I mean double click when entering edit mode
    of a cell.
    If I could somehow determine that, I could than
    perform desired action (open a dialog, or something else).
    Thank you for your help so far.

  • Double Click event on table

    I need to allow selection of table row on double click - I implemented this functionality as suggested in article "http://technology.amis.nl/blog/3845/adf-11g-richfaces-handling-the-client-side-double-click-to-invoke-a-server-side-operation". I noticed the double click works fine if I click on any part of the row that is empty (without text). If i double click on the text that is displayed on the column cell - it just highlights the text and does not invoke Java script method for handling double-click event. I have set table 'rowselection' to 'single'. I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.5 and Firefox (3.1.16) browser.
    Any one else has experienced this issue, is there any solution for this.

    Thanks Timo for your response. I am seeing this odd behavior when using pageflowscope managed bean.
    1). I have a page (part of unbounded taskflow) that has commandlink which invokes a task flow as dialog (inline-popup):

    If I make "TestdblClick" managed bean as request scope to handle double-click event it works fine, however if I make "TestdblClick" managed bean as pageflow scope (task flow) it does not work when double click is on a text within the table row. I am not sure why pageflowscope should impact the double-click behavior.
