I am having a tough time with this software that really is not good for designing or substuting components. I cannot drag the components from one place to another on this. I am having a tough time.

Could you give the guys at CL a little more information about your problem?

Which browser? Which version? Which OS? A description of exactly what you are doing to help reproduce the problem? An example circuit?

Please see Bug reports in:

the best browser is firefox (most updater dosent matter) and all u do is click it if it turns gray then move mouse over builder area and click to place

Sorry to rez an old thread but this happens to me too.

Browsers: Firefox 18.0.1, Chrome 23.0.1271.97
OS: Linux Mint Lisa

Steps to Reproduce:

Click on WIRE and start connecting nodes. Components will subsequently be immovable. New components can be dropped but not moved.

Does it do the same thing in Chromium?

I had a not entirely unrelated problem on a Toshiba Satellite L500 with Radeon 4500 graphics using the fglrx driver in Kubuntu 12.04.

With Chrome and Chromium, the CL Editor window would fragment. With FireFox 16, 17 & 18 it was fine.

An update to Chrome magically fixed it (though I've not tried Chromium again to see if that's been updated/fixed).

Apologies, I'm using Chromium, not Chrome. Hmm, I don't really see any graphical weirdness. Just that when I hover over a component, the cursor turns into a hand, but dragging it doesn't do anything.
