Noob question, text 'stuck' on background

I have a piece of text that was in a table cell but when I move the table, the text appears orphaned on the background canvas. I can’t select it, it doesn’t appear to be locked and I’ve tried in the app and a browser with cookies cleared. I’d really appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction!

Non-selectable text

@Daryll Holland -

What happens when you do a Select All and then filter out everything except for Text? Does it stay selected then?

Hi Kiron,

Sorry for the late reply. I hit ctrl+A on the board which gave me the overall view of everything, then the text jumped back into place where it should be. This is after days of trying to select and move it. 

Thank you for your suggestion!

I had the same problem with text seemingly stuck to a table yet not in a cell, maddening!

What I ended up doing was selecting the rows of the table (don’t select the entire table as a single unit), copying, and pasting, creating a new table. The new table doesn’t have the extra text stuck to it. Then delete the old table with the stuck text.
