Can't click surfaces to select them.

I have previously been able to select surfaces of for example fills, text objects or morphs by clicking anywhere on them. Now I have to find a corner point to be able to select them. This also means I can't double click text to edit it. Is there a setting for this that I might accidentally have turned off? How do I fix it?

Select the "Arrow" tool, and check if the magnet button is pressed- should be on. Then it'll detect surfaces. You can temporarily switch it's status by pressing SpaceBar when holding Shift and hovering over an element.
