Illustrator CC 2018
Mac OS X El Capitan and Windows 10

This used to work on CS6 (at least on Mac): with type tool selected, having clicked anywhere in the middle of a text (point, not area), if I wanted to go to the end of the line (eg to continue typing), I could click anywhere to the right of the text and the cursor would move to the end of the line.

Now, if I do that, it deselects the text (sometimes creates a new point text.

If I want to continue typing, I have to click exactly just after the last letter.

I liked the old way better and I don't see any advantage to the new one?

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks for your help.
