Text cannot be selected

13809994921 — Fri, 16 Feb 2024 11:37:18 GMT

I want to edit the text, but sometimes the text cannot be selected, without any layer locking operations. I am only drawing in model space, and this happens more than 50% of the time.

Currently, my own solutions are:
1. Press Ctrl+A, then Esc key, and then the text can be selected. However, this method does not work for vertical text.
2. Zooming in or out with the mouse wheel will most likely allow selecting the text for editing.
3. Use the "re" command to regenerate the model so that you can select and edit the text.

Other attempted solutions are:
1. The graphics engine used is Metal, if switching to OpenGL, all the texts in the drawing disappear and can only be displayed when hovering over them with the mouse. This also solves the problem of text not being selectable.
2. Using a non-"2D wireframe" view can also solve the problem. However, it may cause slow performance for bulk operations and lagging.

Thank you very much for your help. I found that it was because of the font. If I change to a font like Arial, this issue won't occur, but after replacing the font, the drawing becomes unrecognizable. The Chinese "宋体" font will cause this problem.
