Select All, Editor, Trados 2022

Hi,

When I try to select all segments in the Editor only the first X segments are being selected. 

The usual scenario is that I filter some segments using the Advanced Display Filter, so that I can select them all and then lock them. However, the same thing happens when I'm not using any filters. Today, for example, in a file that has approx. 36k segments only the first 8064 segments were selected.

Independently of whether I click on the square in the corner above the first segment or I use the shortcut, not all segments are being selected. 

I've noticed this behaviour especially when working with bigger files, especially Excel and Power Point files, and I have a feeling that the number of selected segments is random i.e. I couldn't see any consistency in how many segments are selected each time.

Is this a bug? Any solutions?

    Hi Milena,

    I cannot reproduce this behaviour either. I have no trouble selecting all segments in the whole SDLXLIFF or in filtered segments. 

    In addition to the useful suggestions by  ... are you sure that you are clicking the box ABOVE the first segment number, as follows:

    Open an SDLXLIFF or indeed several in a 'virtual merge' and make sure you can see the tag above the first segment.

    Left-click the small rectangle above the first segment number (next to the tag containing file address and file name) (first image is the top two segments onl, with no filter set and second image with a filter set to display only segments with containing the word 'adaptive'...

    Click on the rectangle that I have highlighted in yellow... the whole text will be highlighted from beginning tag to end tag.

    and with the filter:

    If the above is not working for you, I recommend you try repairing Trados Studio, as described here:

    I do hope that this helps!
