Can't drag text

Does anyone know why I can't drag text in High Sierra 10.13? Text based applications like TextEdit, MarkDown and database editors don't allow me to drag the selection. I can select text normally but when i try to drag the cursor just slides off the selection. If I restart the application dragging works normally for a random period like several hours. But I can't constantly restart applications.own a

EtreCheck is a simple little app to display the important details of your system configuration and allow you to copy that information to the Clipboard. It is meant to be used with Apple Support Communities to help people help you with your Mac.

Pastebin is a good place to paste the whole report...

Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck.
