How to revert moving pins in PCB to a one click operation?

l3hrbonini

I believe I've accidentally changed a UI setting somewhere in PCB editor.  When editing a DRA with the move tool selected, I used to be able to click on a pin to both to select it and to pick it up by it's origin.

After the change I have to select the pin and then do a snap pick to > pin.  I've set a persistent snap to pin, but I still have to double click the pin to pick it up, and unintentional snaps constantly occur.

Any idea how I can restore one-click select and pick of pins while editing the DRA?
