Hello,

I have a strange problem since yesterday with Word 2013.

When Word is in Draft View and I click on the right side of an end of line, the whole line gets selected. That really bothers me, because I could swear that some days ago, the line didn't get selected but the text cursor was placed at the end of line (as it should be).
In default view it works like expected.

It almost drives me crazy, because I'm so used to clicking far right of a line and have the cursor there. Especially in table cells it's totally annoying, because the whole cell gets selected instead of the cursor being positioned at the end of the cell.

I've been through the options twice but couldn't find any way to change the behavior back to normal.

Any ideas?

Found a solution:

In the registry there is the key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\C ommon\LanguageResources\EnabledLanguages

with several entries like "1031" etc., which represent specific languages. You can choose them in Word at the bottom left of the program.

One entry (1031, German) was set to "On", which is ok. The other entries were set to "ExplicitOn". I changed all of them to "ExplicitOff" and my problem was solved. I can click on the right side of text and the text cursor gets positioned there at the end of the line. Wonderful.

Only thing was, that the earlier mentioned language selection "button" was gone. So I changed one of the entries (1033, EN-US) back to "ExplicitOn". This brought back the language menu.


I think Word got confused somehow with Arabic language. I experimented with it some days before because of technical issues in the following work process. This might have caused my problem.
