    I seem to be having an issue in route editor. I've never created routes before although I have once in a blue moon added markers to scenarios.

    When I click on a marker, instead of the icon that follows your cursor when you select it from the menu, it is just my cursor. When I click where I want to place it, it will go on an adjacent line instead and look like this:

    I can double click it to give it a name but if I try stretching it out, it just springs back to this. If I click off it, it will still physically exist in the game as the smallest marker possible but it disappears and I can never click on it again, let alone expand it.

    Before anybody says anything, I have tried Googling it...

    Cheers in advance for any help given.

    This is what happens when I try to place a marker in a scenario
    Having clicked on the House/Signals the Marker menu appears
    When I move the cursor the marker moves with it - you cannot see the cursor in the shot but it is next to the marker near the dmu

    So I move the marker to the track near me without a marker - when I click it places it and all three parts appear

    I am able to stretch out the marker and when happy I give it a name

    I presume the route/scenario you are trying to change it not locked or Read Only?

    Hi - that is what used to happen to me the last time I tried (maybe months or years ago).

    This is something that happens on a brand new route I created. I've even tried creating another new one to establish that it wasn't just that one route being funny.

    Maybe try it on a route you did not create and see if the results are the same or different.?

    In the top left flyout box there is an icon that looks like a monitor. Click this and it opens another flyout on the right of the screen - one of the options here relates to markers displaying in the editor. Make sure that box has a check in it.
