Unselectable Text

I have been having an issue with ABS 2007.1 and text. For some reason after closing a file and coming back into it most if not all of my text cannot be selected, I can window the whole drawing and erase everything, but the text remains as if I didn't select it. I can though insert new text, say select similar, and then the text entities are selected. I don't know why this is happening, if anyone can help let me know, thanks.

OK I figured out how to get the ability to select the text back. I went into options, under "Display" I checked the "Show text boundary frame only" box, hit ok to close the options and hit regen to make the change take place. After that I was able to select the text boundary and move it or delete it. I then went back into the options and unchecked that box and hit ok again and regened the drawing, and then everything was OK. Odd but that was the work around for me.

If we are talking about the same thing then theres a quicker workaround, when I am unable to select the text I use CTRL + A command to select everything in drawing, then move it just a tad and undo the move, after this I'm able to work with it, but the thing is annoying that I have to do this 😕 why is it even happening.
