I see this question has been asked before in a different form, but I did not see it answered.
I footnote and comment quite a lot. I go back and edit or add to those, too. But it takes many, many clicks to get the Inspector to respond, and when it does it tends to highlight a whole word rather than give me the I-bar for insertions. The former is the biggest problem, the latter mostly an annoyance.
Once “in” it’s easy enough to move around. But getting in is hard: click, left-click, right-click, touch the screen – it takes four or more tries on any of those to get it to respond. It’s happened to me for as long as I’ve owned Scrivener (a long time, through many versions) and on many different desktops and laptops. Anyone else encounter this? Is there a solution?
