Hello, I have one day left of my trial and I am running into an annoying problem that is hindering my work flow. At some random point, and I’m not sure if there is any pattern to this, I will go to select an “element”, highlighting it in Green, try clicking on it and nothing ever “selects”. I am able to modify text and drag elements around, but no matter what I press or click, until I restart the program I get “Element is not selected.”

After some searching, most posts I find don’t provide any solution. I am running Kubuntu 18.10. I can provide any more specifics needed, thanks.

hi, I you can select and edit text, and have a little blue menu bar pop up visible as you do this, click _Done_ on that menu bar when done, see if this is the issue.
