just move for a line, have a green horizontal line at the top of a column and for an area, it has a green box with a red dashed one left in the original place. Releasing the mouse drops the text to its current location, still selected.
If Snap to Objects is off no red dashes.
If the Live Drag is off, the column and area moves the red dashes instead until the mouse is released. Perversely, the text line moves everything with it underlined as a red dash. This bit is a Xara bug.
If none of this is working, you have the possibility of a clash with the mouse driver; update it.
More likely, you need to run Xara as Administrator he once to ensure all DLLs are connected correctly.
