Unsupported Prototype message when moving component

JERATSSI

I'm new to this software, and recently this new thing that has started happening on my design, but when I try and mvoe a component, I get the pop up for:

"This is an unsupported prototype level funtionality.... "Slide etch" is an alternative to "Stretch etch" for maintaining connections to pins and vias that are being moved."

 I'm not sure why it's coming up.  I erased all of my traces and planes because I need to do some significant changes, I can't grab any etch on the componens pins, so I don't know why it's trying to do anything but move it.  Happens in both General and Placmenet modes.  Thoughts?

    "Slide Etch" is checked in the Options tab for Move, hence the message. Use Edit>Move, go to / Open the Options and uncheck "Slide Etch", these setting are remembered from past actions.

    Perfect, problem solved.  I have no idea how/when I turned that on.
