[Framers] Weird FM problem

Hi Tammy, 
Is the runaround turned off? I think it's automatically on when you import graphics and you have to turn it off individually, unless you have a macro or script to turn them all off at once (which I wish I had). 
Also, Gravity should be deselected. 
Hope this helps. :-)

When I said "moving," I meant clicking and dragging. The Alt + arrow keys 
still work, but no manual dragging. I do not have snap grid on either. . . 

I give. . . probably time for a full system reboot at this point.

OK, 

Here's one that I have never seen before, have no idea what started it and 
how to solve it. I have graphics that I have imported into anchored frames. 
I am using Frame's line art palette to draw arrows that point to certain 
places in these graphics, I am adding text boxes that explain what the arrow 
is pointing, etc. (and no, translation is not a consideration, so adding 
text boxes is just fine). 

I can click on a text box or arrow and resize it, but for the life of me, 
all of a sudden, I cannot MOVE the text box or arrow to another position 
inside the anchored frame. It's like once it's placed somewhere in the 
anchored frame, it's locked to that position for life. . . uh, not good if I 
want to make some slight manual adjustments to positioning like I have 
always done before. 

I figured it was like when FM lost its little mind and couldn't remember 
the keyboard command to scroll through and insert variables from a list, but 
saving all files and closing and rebooting FM did not solve the issue. This 
just started and I have no idea how/why or how to resolve it. 

FM 10, all current, Windows 7, 64-bit. 

Thanks!
