How To Fix TD759 - Select a symbol in the line editor

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: TD - SAPscript: Text editor, composer, forms, styles and fonts

• Message number: 759

• Message text: Select a symbol in the line editor

What causes this issue?

No symbol has been selected in the line editor.
The system only recognizes a symbol as 'selected' when your cursor is
positioned between the two ampersand characters that enclose all symbol
names.
If the symbol has a prefix or suffix that also contains a symbol, then
your cursor must be positioned on the actual name of the symbol in
order for the system to be able to correctly identify it. If your
cursor rests either on a prefix or suffix, the system does not
automatically jump to the symbol's central name text.
