Hi Mitch, Thanks for the reply. I tried double-clicking, as you suggested, and that didn't work right off. However, I clicked about 20 times in succession, and that seemed to do the trick. Ironically, I could have sworn that I tried that before but it didn't work.
Now, I just tried to see if I could change the pattern again, and once again, it's stuck.
