Unable to move gradient direction in shapes

Glyphs
1

EDIT: This worked in build (3311) which I just re-downloaded and it works.

I’m hosting a workshop over this weekend and we noticed that once a gradient attribute is applied to a shape we are not able to move the gradient points on the interface to change the orientation of the gradients.

The following two points are fixed in place:

I haven’t come across this issue before and am still on Glyphs version 3.3 (3336).
The same issue happens with an old file this has worked on before, as well as a new file created for trying this. What could be the problem?

Do you have an older version where this feature is certain to work?
The workshop was today and finishes tomorrow. It would be great to demonstrate this feature and for the participants to be able to use this for their designs.

I have tested it and the latest version where dragging the gradient knobs works is Glyphs 3.3 (3321).

You can download it here directly:

Or from my list of all Glyphs versions:

We’ll have a look at why the gradient knobs cannot be moved and get it fixed properly.

Thanks for the report. I found and fixed the problem.
