Trackpad Click and Drag Issue

When I click and drag to highlight text using my trackpad, it does not highlight more than one line at a time. I cannot select an entire paragraph, or page of text, without deleting one line at a time. This issue just arose a few days ago; my trackpad worked before. Is there a solution to this?
