Lost ability to drag and drop text in Writer

[lesliek]

I’m using version 25.2.3.2 of LibreOffice with Ubuntu 24.04.

I’ve suddenly noticed that if I use cut and paste, I can move text, but if I highlight text and then try to drag the highlighted text to another location, that isn’t working, though it has been for years in the past.

Is there some setting that I’ve changed accidentally?

On my system it works as expected. But - as ever - seems to be a bit “tricky”. Close LO and restart from anew or shutdown the computer and start again: Same result?

I should have thought of shutting down and starting again. Silly of me! When I closed LO and started again, all worked. Sorry to have troubled you.
