Door/window markers don't move

As the title indicates, I can't seem to keep the d/w markers in place if I move them after the d/w is placed. I can move them all over with the stretch command on the pet pallete, but once I let them go, they snap back to the original location. Am using Door marker 10, and have show editable marker checked in the dialogue box (in marker settings)

Thanks.

This bug has been around since AC9.

The first time you select the marker with the stretch command it should work fine. Subsequently to move the markers you first must click down and HOLD while doing this move the curser over to the move icon in the pet pallette and UP click. Now select the stretch icon and you can freely move the marker.

However, Door markers only move in and out in my experience and to move it laterally you have to alter it in the settings dialog.

There are TWO green diamonds (Stretchy Hotspots) for the marker... One will move it anywhere, the other only in and out. Not sure why? but that's what I've found.

Tom,
Mine seems to work fine. I'm using version 1010 with the latest library. Are you by any chance using a newer update?

Am using the 1176 build. It's been like that all of V10 and V9, so I don't think it's the build that is the problem.

Brad...can you explain that move again. I'm a bit confused by your process.
