    Why can't I select text in Google Docs in Chrome since last Microsoft update?


    Since the last update, I am having trouble selecting text. I mainly use Google Docs on Chrome. This was never an issue before. Now when I select the text it often about 75% of the time unselects the text as I let go of the mouse button. It doesn't seem to matter where the cursor is like just inside the selected text, or just outside it or whether it is multiple lines, or just a word. It is super frustrating as it happens so much and doesn't seem to have any reason for happening

    problem uninstalling google chrome

    Hi,

    Since you already uninstalled Google Chrome using the Programs and Features, Google notifications may still be running in the background processes. We suggest that you follow these steps on how to end the Google Chrome process:

    • On your keyboard, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
    • Select Task Manager.
    • Under Processes, locate Google Notifications or Google Chrome.
    • Right click on them and select End Task.
    • Double check under Programs and Features if Google Chrome is completely gone.

    Let us know if these steps worked.

    Why can't I select text in Google Docs in Chrome since last Microsoft update?

    The text on Google Chrome goes pink sometimes ???

    Hello chrysocome,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    1. Is this issue happening only on Google Chrome or on other browsers?

    Method 1: In the Chrome settings menu click Advanced, scroll down to 'use hardware settings when available' turn this
    Off, relaunch Chrome.

    If the above step does not work, follow step 2.

    Method 2: Reset Google Chrome browser.

    Hope it helps.
