Feature Request: VIA Dragging

I'm new to Multisim/Ultiboard, but I like to compare it to PCB-Artist due to it's many similarities.  One issue i see which has plagued me, is the ability to drag a VIA and have it stay connected to the trace.  This seems like a standard feature and a common action that users will do when trying to move traces around.  In order to resolve this, i need to disconnect my top and bottom traces from the via by deleting them, then move the via, then reconnect the traces.

 

 I hate to say it, but i think even expressPCB has this feature 😞

 

Multisim 11.1?

It seems to me that moving pretty much *anything* around in Multisim causes *way* too much pain - things either dont move (such as shred444's issue), leave traces behind (try moving a large IC), or even when traces do move, the result crows nest makes me end up deleting the nets and starting again anyway!
