Hi Alex I did some experimentation this morning with TextEdit. Since I do a lot of work with TextEdit for my business, I would be concerned if a bug like this happened. I am not having the same problems you are having with your file. I tried it with the keyboard and with the menu, and mine worked perfectly. Therefore, and I have had to do this after an update occurred, maybe you might want to shut your computer down and restart it again. I have had some weird things happen after an update. I know this sounds weird, but even though my computer restarts after the update automatically, I almost always have to do it again. Usually, the problems I have had after a major update like this one have had to do with Finder, but I suppose anything could be effected. It can't hurt.
