I've reported this before, and it has never been resolved. It's been an ongoing problem for about a year now. On occasion - sometimes quite often - click & drag to select text with the mouse will not do anything. The click moves the cursor, but the hold & drag does nothing. I have to close the source file and reopen it to get it to work again. I can leave the solution/project open. I've had this happen with both large and super-small projects (three source files), and only one source file open and with lots of them.
We've seen this happen when you right-click on an underlined comment or string where VA produces a spell-check list that is then dismissed by clicking somewhere else. As AdrianS notes, doing a right-click in the editor fixes the state. This will be fixed in the 1725 build timeframe. case=16204

That's very probably what I've done to trigger it. In my case, it's most likely that there was no suggestion at all.
Mouse selection fails
