Strange editing behavior in Mail, Pages, and Numbers on Mac mini

Editing in Mail and new numbers and pages documents (on Mac Mini) is acting very strangely. Document areas can be "boxed" in blue (or green in numbers), not allowing editing in editable fields. Numbers fields are shaded green, but won't accept editing until clicked in the field to clear the shading; I can't split a line of text in a field to add a space or edit text; I must delete from the end of the text and re-write.


Is this a function of the updated apps, or something else. I tested wit a different keyboard to check if it was the keyboard, but it did not change.


Does anyone else have this issue?
