OK, back to some real basics might be required.
Tell us what Style you are using.
Is this 'pedal steel button' you mention a "radio button item" with words 'pedal steel' alongside? Or does it look like a button (i.e. Yes/No/OK? type of button).
And does the circle with the line appear as soon as you
click this button, or when you try to drag it to somewhere? There is a difference. Please try to give all the detail you can of your actions.
Has this worked before? If so, what has changed? Anything?
