Hi Phil and group
Perhaps i should have been clearer, it rotates when dragging a component
fine (with space) but if i do a (M)ove (C)omponent and then press the mouse
to bring up the component selector, select the component i want jump to
cursor and it will not rotate with space! Only if i then drop the component
and drag it will it work.
However it does work with M, C if i turn drag connected tracks to none!
Will that help explain it further?
