Since a recent Windows update I can no longer select text with the mouse in single-line edit controls used by the viewer.
Expected behaviour:
  • While renaming an inventory object I should be able to drag the mouse to highlight only part of the object's name.
  • I should also be able to select part of the text in the Inventory Search field.
Actual behaviour:
  • Clicking places the text cursor correctly.
  • As soon as I drag with the left mouse button, the selection is cancelled and the caret jumps to the end of the text.
  • No text remains highlighted.
  • Keyboard selection (Shift + Arrow keys) still works correctly.
  • Mouse selection works normally in multi-line text boxes (Profile/About, Notecards, etc.).
  • Mouse selection also works normally in Windows applications such as Notepad.
The problem affects:
  • Inventory object rename
  • Inventory Search field
The problem does NOT affect:
  • Notecards
  • Profile/About text
  • Windows applications such as Notepad
Troubleshooting already performed:
  • Cleared Firestorm cache.
  • Reinstalled Firestorm.
  • Tested the Official Second Life Viewer (same behaviour).
  • Changed Firestorm skins.
  • Disabled SteelSeries GG software.
  • Checked Windows mouse settings.
  • Mouse drag works normally outside Second Life.
  • Dragging inventory items works normally.
  • Keyboard text selection works normally.
System:
Windows 11 Version 25H2 (Build 26200.8894)
Additional information:
The issue has been reproduced in both Firestorm 7.2.4.80712 and the Official Second Life Viewer, suggesting the problem may not be Firestorm-specific.
