Text cursor/text selection is invisible when inside group, and getting text cursor is jittery at best.
The text cursor and text highlight selection don't appear when inside grouped text. Also getting the text cursor vs the selection cursor is very jittery. I'm running ai 25.0.1 on a 2017, 5K iMac, os Big Sur 11.1. I've attached videos of the poor functionality.

David, can you show how? I mean record a video of you trying.
Because selection can not work with text in many ways — a range of text, a text as a whole object, with all objects at all...
To investigate something the team must have clues.Also: try to select other objects and check if View > Show Edges is checked

Just downloaded Illustrator from Creative Cloud a few hours ( 11/12/21 around 3 PM) ago on Windows 10. The selection tool is not working on Text.

Illustrator 25.4REALLY ANNOYING cannot select text with direct selection tool. The nearest line is selected instead, clicking anywhere near that Area text doesn't have an effect. Sometimes it works, but 99% of the time not. Only just noticed this today with recent upgrade.
By the way, pretty serious bug I'd say, not being able to select stuff. Saw there was a similar bug in 2018 reported with Adobe saying it had been fixed in later version. Well, it's back!
