I just noticed that I am no longer able to select individual repeat ending handles by clicking on them. They only select by click-dragging. In addition, once I have the handles selected, using the arrow keys to nudge the repeat ending deselects the handles instantly. I can only move repeat endings by dragging them, something which makes precise editing difficult for me. Has anyone else noticed this? I'll place this question on the official MM site, as well. Perhaps someone at MM will respond.

P.S. Just noticed that the inability to select handles by clicking on them isn't with all files, but I've no idea why some repeat endings behave this way and some don't. This also goes for the nudging with the arrow keys. If I'm only able to select handles by click-dragging, they are the ones which deselect after one press of an arrow key.

P.P.S.S. I just tried something else. In a file which wouldn't let me select repeat ending handles, I tried clearing all items but the repeat endings. I was then able to select the handles and they remained selectable even after undoing the clear. They still deselected after one nudge, though. Curiouser and curiouser...

Vaughan,
It sounds like a local problem. I just tried it on a new default doc, and it worked as expected.

Thanks for responding, Mike, also on the other forum. As I said there, ironically, I'd almost prefer a bug I can reproduce than one which rears its ugly head only occasionally but in unexpected circumstances.
