My students figured out that once you create a new project, you have to save it and close it... Then when you open the project, it is fixed and everything can be moved and resized from then on.

Hi,
This problem happened in class today and it's happening on my PC laptop as well, with Alice 3.2:
After we add objects to the scene, we can't click on the objects to access the rotation circles (or the translational arrows). We only can click on the ground, no matter where we click.
My students who are working on Macs do not seem to have this issue.
Ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks,
Reyna Pratt

Reyna,
You may need to update the video drivers of your machine. Use the drivers from the manufacturer of your video card, not the more generic Windows Update drivers. See the following link:
http://alice3.pbworks.com/w/page/54959364/Updating%20Video%20Drivers
You may be able to use modifier keys manipulate the models <cntrl-click> to turn a model left and right, and <shift-click> to move an object up and down. Also the one-shot menu (right-click on an object and select procedures from the context menu) may also allow you to manipulate and set the object.
Let us know if you continue to have problems.
Later,
Don Slater

Hi,
We are having the same issues with Alice 3.2 on both the MAC and Windows side. The weird thing is that it is random. It will work perfectly for a particular scene, and then if the student tries another scene, they can't use the "handles" at all. When they click on the object, it automatically switches the selection to "this" and they can only move the camera.

This has been a very vexing issue for us, as we have trouble duplicating the problem. At this time it seems to be system / machine dependent?
We would ask anyone who is experiencing this problem to send us specific information about their setup, it would be helpful. This would include:
Manufacturer:
Operating System / Version:
Graphics card:
Amount of memory:
Java version:
Anything else that might be helpful:
Thank you,
