Placing sources requires that you click whilst away from the wire and
then drag the source onto the wire. This is not a bug, just the way that
the author chose to do it.



Show me the place in the manual or help where that is described.
Normally we do drag and drop, but here we must .
Made me crazy, but no longer now since I know it,
and I will keep it a secret and not tell anyone.



Firstly it is not 'drag, drop& move'; it is click, drag & drop! Try
reading the Help a little more closely, you will find that it says:

"The next thing to do is add a voltage-source. While still in Add-mode,
click the 'Source button' (right of the 'Wire button'). Next click and
hold down your left mouse-button somewhere in the picture-box. At the
current mouse-pointer position a new source-object is displayed. Drag
the source-object to the middle of the second wire, just between the two
lower wires-ends of the feedline and release the mouse-button. When
properly positioned a new source is now added."

It does not work as described, when inserting a source on a dipole
wire in the center segment, one of the first things to do in Example1.
