SYMPTOMS
========

When you select text in one text box, you cannot extend the selection to include

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, use either of the following methods:

Method 1: Copy the text from each text box separately and paste it in the desired
location.

Method 2: Resize the first text box to include all the text, and then copy and
paste the text to the new location.
