It's not currently supported by RichTextBox, but should work fine with TextBox by mouse and keyboard:

Maybe you have no SelectionBrush or by default it's transparent (but in this case it shouldn't work by keyboard...)

The issue was caused by your code using WindowsFunctions.EnableMouseInPointer() which calls this Windows API https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-enablemouseinpointer that asks Windows to send WM_POINTERmessages instead of WM_MOUSEmessages.

Using the pointer instead of mouse wasn't fully supported. I have enhanced Wice (https://github.com/aelyo-softworks/Wice/commit/1ed33cb14b75bc077e518729473cae33f76504ee) and it should work better now.

The gallery also now allows to set it manually if unset at startup (it cannot be unset once set):
