JMRI 5.10 on W11

?

I thought I would experiment with train tracking on a layout editor panel. I found that when the loco IDs are placed near a block that there is no indication that something has been placed there. After a train has passed through that area then tiny little blocks show up on the panel in edit mode (if everything was done correctly).

?

This makes me grumpy.

I found that if I drew a selection box around the invisible marker that it would appear as a tiny yellow box. Then if I right clicked the yellow box a popup menu would appear giving me a couple choices of "alignment" and nothing else. I clicked one of the alignment options in desperation. After doing that the marker turned black and stayed that way. Its right click menu then functioned normally.

?

Another way of forcing the marker to appear is to enter text in the value field of the block, a PITA.

?

Am I overlooking something or does this area need a little work?

?

The train tracking itself is working great.

George,

What I do is use the shift click to added the block contents label (marker) and immediately do a right click to get the right click menu before moving the mouse.
