When I do this, I get a "Click to unlock" note, and all sorts of animated blinking circles around nodes. I really don't get what's going on there.
Also, the new area seems to be a way rather than an area. Once I understand what's going on, I can make a little screencast to explain it... but can't do it, until I understand it. Here's what works: create an area press p choose 0 offset that's when the unlock note, and the animated blinking circles appear I can move the item, and indeed, I see two, but the new one has a blinking node, as well. Even when I click unlock, the blinking nodes appear, and both objects turn into ways rather than areas. Can anyone explain?
