Ermz Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 When I try to highlight a portion of text in a text box to format it the box moves around on the page. How do I stop this from happening? Link to comment
Ziggy Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 You need to click on the text block, so that you see the flashing cursor, before selecting and highlighting the text you want.

Ermz Posted May 18, 2023 Author Share Posted May 18, 2023 I get the flashing curser but when I click and drag to highlight a portion of text the whole box moves. The only way to highlight a portion of text is to hold down command+A to select it all or double click to select one word. Link to comment

You can try clearing the browser cache and restarting the browser, if that doesn't help, then contact squaresapce support here: https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/requests/new#choose-topic Please like and upvote if my comments were helpful to you.

PeterInDC Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) I had exactly the same issue but after much frustration, I discovered that there is something wrong with their editor and it is not working as we expect in Firefox (Windows 10). Switching to Chrome makes it work as described. I am posting 7 months after this issue was flagged. I have been a developer for 20 years but am new to Squarespace. This inconsistency is not encouraging. Edited January 11 by PeterInDC chrisplyon 1 Link to comment
chrisplyon Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 To say this is frustrating as a Firefox user is an understatement. We need to be able to edit in one of the world's most used browsers. Link to comment

How do I stop this from happening? I had the same problem, but it was solved by turning off the Ghostery extension. Hope it helps you too :) Link to comment
