 * Not sure if this is due to Block editor updates but I’ve found any buttons I 
   add I can’t select the text to replace all at once, I have to manually hit the
   delete key to remove the text in order to change a button’s text.
 * Love this plugin, thanks for your help!

 * Hi there,
 * That’s strange – can’t replicate this on my end.
 * Does the same thing happen when all other plugins are temporarily deactivated?
 * What version of WP are you using?
 * Thanks! 🙂

 * WP 5.5.3, I’ll try to troubleshoot this further and report back. Thank you!

 * I have not had a chance to troubleshoot plugin conflicts, but one things I narrowed
   this down to was **Firefox **82, Windows 10. Don’t have the same issue in Chrome.
 * In Firefox, the only place I can place the cursor is the front of the first letter
   of text in the button. In Chrome is works as I would expect.
