Do you have Text frame inset = 0 (Misc>Choices>Text), by any chance? This makes
text selection a little more difficult, but it should still work with
left/right click. You might also look at your Mouse settings in Windows Control
Panel -- Pointer options ... look at the <speed> and <precision> settings.**
