On certain Visio documents that behaved normally before now, when I drag a connector between 2 points, my line shows while I hold with my mouse but when I let go the connector snaps bacl t the starting shape and becomes a right angle. When I try to grab and drag this, it may drag but only partially is visible. Or it creates other bends and connects to other parts of the diagram. Pic #1 shows when I drag the original connector. 2. Showing after releasing mouse. 3. shows after dragging connector to correct:Connector bahavior

    I started Visio in safe mode, followed instructions for add-ons and found a PDF maker was the only add-on. Unchecked this, restarted and no change. Tried #2 to repair this app. I only see one repair choice and it took around 15 minutes to run through the repair. No change for this issue. I appreciate the suggestions though. Any other suggestions? I saw a very similar question with screenshots from July 6th 2021. Exact issue I have but there was no resolution for this except to copy the work, open a new Visio instance and dump paste into this. This did seem to resolve the issue but copying/pasting into a new instance of Visio causes formatting changes and it takes time to reformat so I do not consider this a viable resolution to this problem. I am using: Microsoft® Visio® Plan 2 MSO (Version 2606 Build 16.0.20131.20152) 64-bit
