Not able to mark text in web-pages

I'm using Opera 11.62. In this version and former versions I've lost the ability to mark/copy text in a web-page. What happens is that I only get a cross with 4 arrows above the text I try to mark and copy. Am I having a configuration problem with my browser?

Could be ... there's a setting in opera:config called "Scroll Is Pan", when enabled it allows you to drag the page around - but of course makes it impossible to select by dragging. If it is enabled then disable it and click on Save (you can type "Scroll Is Pan" into the Quick find to locate it).

Seems to me there was another setting that had a similar effect, but it escapes me right now ...
