I’m not sure if this is the right place to report a bug. Please advise if this is inappropriate here.

Pretty simple to reproduce. Create a new Alarm Notification Pipeline and zoom either in or out by doing something like ctrl+scroll wheel and try to draw a connection between the start and a new block. It will always select the entire start block to move rather than allowing you to draw a connection between it and another block.

I’ve seen this behavior in 7.9.5 and 7.9.10, I have not tried it in 8.0

I just tested this on Ignition 8.0.2 and it exhibits the same behavior.

Thanks, I’ve created a ticket for this but I’m not sure what kind of priority it will receive.

Did anyone find a workaround or solution for this? I am having the same problem with v7.9.16 and did not even change zoom settings. I can’t find a way to connect anything to the switch block. Thanks.
