Hello, I´m trying to select text from two linked textboxes but I cant´t drag the text cursor from one textbox to the other. Am I doing something wrong o it is a limitation of the linked textboxes? Thanks in advance for your help.

hi juanmallo

you're right. unfortunately this is really a limitation of linked text boxes. for this you have to go to the story editor.

Thanks so much, utnik! Surely this problem will be fixed soon. For now, I'll follow your advice about using text editor and I'm looking forward to trying the new version 1.7.3. I also wanted to let you know that I recently discovered a sort of workaround: selecting the first or last part of the text in one text box and then pressing Shift + left or right arrow key you can extend the selection to the other linked text box. It's not perfect, but it might be useful to someone.
