@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 -

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!
