You can't cancel by pressing on X and to come out of it you have to switch the Kobo off.

Anyone able to replicate this and, if so, reproducibly?
I've had a Kobo touch for 3 months, with v 1.19.17 firmware update. I had this happen several times when I first got Kobo, but then things settled down. Ironically, the problem you describe occurred again today. It either happens in the way you describe, by leaning on the touch screen and inadvertently "selecting" words - or I wonder if there's a problem somewhere on the right side of the page that produces this.

Luckily, turning off and on corrects the problem - but it would be great if it could be resolved instead.
