Word appears to have text double selected

[David Thielen]

Hi;

We have a case where we set the selected range in our AddIn and Word appears
to then have that text double selected. I have to click elsewhere with the
mouse twice to get the caret to move and the text to unselect.

Any idea what is going on and even more important, what we should do/not do
in our code to not get Word in this state?

Hello Dave,

I would like to know whether you have track the click event.

Do you mean that only when you double click the elsewhere, you could
unselect the text?

Hi;

No, we do not track a single click (we do track a double click).

No, not a double click. Two single clicks. It's as though the selected text
was selected twice (I know that makes no sense) and so 1 click elsewhere
reduces it to selected once and another single click then moves the caret.

I think in our code we are setting the selected range twice - to the same
value. Maybe we create 2 range objects with that selected range??? Would that
do it?

Hello Dave,

It is possible.

Select range twice may be the problem.

You may need to modify your code.

That was it - selecting a field twice puts Word in this double select mode.
We found the second select and removed it and now it works fine.
