Hy,
For my university course, we are tasked to use the Cisco Packet Tracer version 8. We got the task to place a router and put a module from the list on the left-hand side in to a given slot of the router.
There I got an issue, neither with my trackpad or Magic mouse, I'm unable to "Drag" the Module into the slot. I reinstalled the Software - didn't fix the issue. I tried the project with my Windows machine and everything worked fine, but since I only got a MacOS Laptop this will be an issue.
When I click on the module, not even the "Liftoff" animation happens, as if I never clicked on it. (I tested different mice and with the trackpad, nothing happened)
Is there a workaround/possible fix?
I use MacOS Version 11.2
Other Students also experienced this bug randomly, some do some don't - we weren't to pinpoint the issue sadly.
Hope someone can help me out
Cheers

from another website :
Create a folder on your desktop. Drag and drop a packet tracer saved file to that folder. Then the drag and drop for device modules should randomly start working, not sure exactly why this makes it work though, seems pretty random

I have tried to fix that on the way you have written, but the bug is still there. Do you know any other option to resolve that problem?
Thanks and have a nice day

I can't believe you managed to figure that out

Thanks this worked for me too. Before I tried this fix, there were a few sessions where the drag and drop did work. I have no idea of the root cause of the issue.
