Illustrator CS4

Hey, I'm not exactly sure which section this should go in. I guess it could of been made in the illustrator section... *shrugs*


Anyways, onto the question. I am getting very annoyed with how the selection tool now works with the text in Illustrator CS4. They've changed something in the update, and I'm just wondering if anyone else out there has the same issue. In older versions of illustrator, you could select the text by clicking on it's bounding box and move it around, but now I find that I can only select it's baseline to select and move the text around.

Is there anything in the preferences I can change to make it act like how it was in CS3?

I have Illustrator CS4 14.0 and when I click in the center point of the bounding box, the text will move just like it always has. Do you have an update to 14.0? if so, did you have the problem prior to updating? I have a Mac G5 OS X Tiger. If you are working on a PC, you may have a display driver issue. Go to your Graphics card manufacturer's website and get the latest driver. I know there were issues with nvidia drivers and CS4
