Can't select or move fields in the symbol editor

[doofus_robot]

To date, the fields I add to a symbol via the “Library Symbol Properties” dialog have been munipulable by clicking to select and then dragging to anywhere in the symbol. It bugs the crap out of me that they are all stacked on top of each other when first created, so I like to left justify them and line them up vertically so they can be easily viewed (even though the vast majority will be hidden in the schematic). Just now though, I created a new inductor symbol with a bunch of fields and I can only move them with group select, but this is only useful when the fields are of very different lengths. So what gives?

Okay, it seems just to be a minor bug. I was having the issue when the field’s “value” was empty, but when I put a character into “value”, I’m able to individually click and move the fields in the symbol editor. Strange, but no biggie I suppose.
