Patch cord drag to reconnect not working

Wax's icon

For some reason, the ability to reconnect a patch cord isn't working. I don't see the little purple circle on the inlets/outets and dragging a patch cord does nothing.

I tried searching through the manual, and on the forum. Is this a preference or something? I didn't manually change anything. I tried deleting the Max 5 preferences, reinstalling, nothing is working.

From what you've wrote I think you may have your patch locked!

It is command+e to toggle unlocked and locked modes

Maybe you double clicked on the patch and it opened in the runtime

No, it's actually a feature of Max 5.1. You can see the "drag to reconnect" patch cord feature in the Max for Live public beta. It's wicked! Sorry I obviously wasn't clear enough.
