Working with text in Notes

How do you select text in a list in Notes for MacOS Catalina?


Before I upgraded to this OS I was using High Sierra, and you could just click the cursor and drag to select whatever amount of text you wanted. Now, it just grabs that item of the list and moves it around. Is this unavoidable?

I see the same thing.

A solution is to click just once to place the cursor, and then use the keyboard to make a selection - e.g. shift-right arrow to extend to the right, etc. Also, double-clicking selects a full word (and again, you can extend using the keyboard).
