I'm hoping someone else will have the answer to a question that would really help my productivity. Here it is:
When editing bids at Google I double-click in each amount box which will already contain an amount like 0.16. Sometimes when I click on it the default highlights just the 16 or whatever is to the right of the decimal point period aka dot(.). Other times it highlights the entire field.
It is much faster to edit bids when it highlights only the amount to the right of the dot but I have no idea what sets this default. Sometimes it works one way and sometimes another. When it wants to highlight the entire box contents that happens in both Firefox and IE so I don't think it is a browser setting.
I don't know if this is something Google changes or it is a PC or keyboard setting somewhere. I will be eternally grateful to anyone who knows how I can control this.

It's your mouse clicks. Double click will highlight the '16' and triple (3) clicks will highlight '0.16'.
Also the location of your mouse cursor will decide what to hightligh. The cursor should be on '1' / '6' / between '1' & '6'. If it is between '.' and '1' then double click will highlight '.16'.

That is what controls it when it works and what I want it to do. But it isn't working that way right now. One click highlights nothing. Double highlights the whole thing. It doesn't matter where I put the cursor.
Any idea why or how to change it back?

If Google is using some JS code to manipulate that field then you need to talk to them.
Else try reducing the speed of your mouse clicks from control panel mouse menu.

You can test your mouse using reply box of this forum. Type the number and try to hightlight it. If it's working here but not on Google site then you need to talk to them.

When it does this is does it on any site so I don't think it is Google. I'll try changing the mouse speed and see what that does.

That didn't help. I've tried every mouse setting on the control panel under mouse hoping something would change that behavior. I wonder if there are more mouse settings somewhere else or different mice have different capabilities?
I was having PC problems and have tried multiple keyboards and mice. Now I can't get any of them to work the way you and I think it is supposed to work.
