I've just downloaded InDesign CC and am having a problem with the various selection tools.
With the Text Selection Tool active, I double-click a text frame and hold, and the cursor is placed on the text inside the frame. But I can no longer drag from where the cursor is to highlight the text.
When I click again to start highlighting the text, the text itself becomes inactive, the text frame becomes active and my attempt to highlight drags the frame. The tool panel shows that the Text Selection Tool is still active.
Once I double click into the text frame, the only way I can edit text is to use Shift + arrows.
In Preferences > Type I have enabled and disabled the "Triple Click to Select a Line", but there is no change in the behavior described above.
Similarly, if I switch to the Hand Tool and grab a portion of the page, the frame I happen to be over moves instead of the page. Grabbing on a part of the page where there is no frame does nothing at all.
In fact, this behavior is the same no matter which tool in the toobar I have active: the Rectangle Tool does not draw a rectangle, but moves the text frame; same with the Pencil Tool, etc.
The document itself was upgrade from CS6, but creating a new document does not change the behavior.
I've followed the instructions in the Troubleshooting 101: Replace, or "trash" your InDesign preferences article <http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990>, dleted the InDesign Defaults file and restarted, but that has made no difference.
At this point, ID-CC is thoroughly unusable.
