Forgive me Jeff, but I haven't a clue what you mean. Here's a link to a
picture of what I was trying to do when I filed the bug report:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1il4gZurEYF-1s7WBrb_q-mz2aylMwjTu

In the picture, the stuff that's brown is part of the border template
and therefore won't be affected by anything we're talking about. The
blue stuff is text and graphic lines that I had added to the schematic.
The stuff circled in red is the stuff I want to drag ... i.e., I want to
drag the bottom horizontal line and the bottom endpoints of the vertical
lines without moving the text or the upper endpoints.

In the past, I could just select the stuff circled in red and then hit
'tab'.

But now I need to do what? If I can do it using your description, which
I don't understand, could you give me a link to documentation.
