[Boa Constr] moving components using the designer

[GARY S. <gse...@bt...>]

Hi All,
I've decided to use Boa Constructor this evening and while it looks quite good i'm finding a few thing a tad challnging.

I'm currently using:
ubuntu dapper 6.06
python 2.4.3
boaconstructor 4.4
wxPython 2.6.1.2pre

"Once the component is on the form, it can be moved and resized. You move it by placing the mouse within the component and dragging it. You resize it by dragging one of  the eight markers shown on the edge of a selected control."

i've found that while components can be resized on  the form as per the instructions it is not possible to use the mouse to drag them to a new position.

I have found a partial solution in using the Inspector to edit the Position attributes of a component (using the spinner controls is quite handy).

Is this some bug that is unique to my system (I tried searching this list's archives and could find any discussion on this issue).

Many thanks in advance,
Gary
