Bonjour,

I’m having an issue with my new installation of Toad, version 12.0.0.61

When I double click on a word to select it and I try to move my mouse to select the rest or part of the line, I just can’t.

How can I select by double-clicking the first word and then move the mouse to select what I want.

My last Toad installation was working perfectly but I can’t find the option to fix this.

Thanks is advance.

You may want to upgrade your Toad version, if Toad is at fault. I can tell you that your scenario works fine in v. 12.12, the latest generally-available release as of today.
