When text is selected for copying or deletion, it is blacked out and cannot be read. This makes it difficult to ensure that the correct text has been selected in order to work with it. It is a pain when typing long documents. Your help in resolving the problem would be greatly appreciated. I have gone through any online suggestions that I can find and have not been able to resolve the issue.

    So, it is impossible to reach a live person and the AI cannot help me. Where do I seek assistance now?
