I do not find that to be the case.

That's the kind of workaround that I'd encourage users to think of when
they are in a tight spot and can't get things to work any other way, but it
should not be necessary.

There are two ways to delete an object. One is to select it and the clear
the selection. But if Mr. Albach is deleting the arc using Edit/Delete and
then clicking on the arc, the same click should normally be able to pick it
up for movement.

This is a clue. First of all, I suspect that the arc is large. To pick up
an arc, it is necessary to click on the outline, and Protel allows a
certain margin of error. Some positions around the arc might be difficult
to pick up. Using a smaller grid would allow one to click closer. It might
also help if the arc is set to a wide line, but I don't know that this is
really a factor.

Running SP6, I had very little difficulty picking up even large arcs, but I
don't know that this is an SP6 fix.
