Hi Aaron,

the yellow outline is the ROI.

The turquoise outlines are the rois stored in the Roi Manager,  
visible with 'show all'. By clicking on the turquoise label you can  
select a roi. Then you can modify it, but this won't change the roi  
stored in the Roi Manager.

A way out would be to add each roi to the Roi Manager after it has  
been modified by the user, not after the initial click where the user  
specifies the roi position.

Hi Michael,

Confusion about terminology aside, it used to be possible to click directly on the turqoise outlines and move them with the cursor. This is what I am no longer able to do. It is unfortunately necessary to move different turquoise ROIs at different times, often more than once. I understand it is easy to work around this problem by using 'roiManager("Update")'. If I adopt this solution, however, the user is required to drag the yellow ROIs and press an additional button to record the change. Given the enormous number of ROIs involved, additional steps like this are a problem. Another, better workaround would involve coupling the 'roiManager("Update")' function to left clicks of the mouse, but it seems the macro language does not support mouse hotkeys. Do you have any idea what might have caused this change?

Thanks,

Aaron
