[olivroy]

System details

OS Version      : Windows 10 x64 (build 19044)

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Have a git ignore file that contains files with spaces.
2. Open it
3. Try to select text (drag to select)
4. Right click on nul (maybe have to try a couple times)

nul
file.R

Describe the problem in detail

Text selection doesn't work. (doesn't always happen)

Additionnally, if you right click, it is possible to get spell checker, which seems odd? (this is also present in the old version)

Describe the behavior you expected

If you can't reproduce easily, no worries, I found this while investigating #13605, so probably better to close this issue.. Note that this doesn't happen all the time, and yields different errors than #13605. Also, I am able to get the .gitignore behavior, while the rest of my editor commands work..

• I have read the guide for submitting good bug reports.
• I have installed the latest version of RStudio, and confirmed that the issue still persists.
• If I am reporting an RStudio crash, I have included a diagnostics report.
• I have done my best to include a minimal, self-contained set of instructions for consistently reproducing the issue.

Here are some logs if they are helpful
