Selecting text in Messages using Big Sur Has anyone noticed that using Messages with Big Sur is a bit more difficult than past OS's? When I type a message and want to either copy/cut/delete something I've already written, I'm unable to press shift + left/right/up/down arrows to select the text. I'm forced to use my mouse to click and highlight the text which is very annoying and feels like I'm hitting a speed bump every time. I'm fully able to select text using the shift + arrow keys in any other application or browser, it's just Messages that's causing me problems. Has anyone had this issue or know how to fix it?

You can swipe them or you can use the Delete Conversation command in the File menu. You can even add your own shortcut for that.
