Hello all, I've been playing with Pure Data for several hours now, obviously the rawest of newbies at this point, yet I've stubbed my toe on a real annoyance. When I first started using the system, Put object worked as documented: click the Put Object (Message, etc.) command, then click the canvas to place it. Now, however, when I click Put Object (Message, etc.), the item appears immediately near the top of the canvas.. and I can't move it!

OS = Windows XP, PD 0.43.4 extended

@jamos Are you able to move the object after you click and drag over it to select it, then clicking and dragging the object itself (kind of like moving multiple folders at once around on the desktop)?

@rjp9 Nothing at all. I cannot move the items at all.

I just rebooted, let's see if that helped... yes. After the reboot things are good. Odd. thx for responding -
