so, which version do you run and on what os?

Afaik @kammutierspule’s screenshot is the default canvas (‘regular’ for you).

Any chance you still got the footprint mode active (some button at the top row icons with an IC with arrows on it)?

In “Regular” canvas, you click on a track, right click, and there is that drop down menu.

Works in Legacy not in Cairo

thanks for sorting it out.

someone knows the 3 canvas battle thing ?

cairo looks way better then legacy that i know.

I’d suggest using OpenGL canvas if your hardware supports it

Also open GL did not have the lock flags only Legacy

and drag works best in cairo IMHO
