I just started using LV2017. In previous versions, when I dragged a block diagram icon into a structure, LabVIEW would delete the associated wires. LV2017 tries to drag the wires into the structure, and generally gets it wrong. Is there a way to adjust the settings to give me the old behavior?
Thanks.

Based on this idea, you aren't alone in not liking this behavior.
Doesn't look like there's a way to opt out or turn off.

Appears the best you can currently do is press 'W' while dragging the item, which will turn off the re-wiring for that drag.

Just started using 2017 on a project and I really dislike this feature. I know it can be disabled with "W" but I am left handed, my right hand rests on the arrow keys to straighten up things as I wire, so pressing the "W" really breaks my work flow as I have to remove my hand from the arrow keys.I have zero use for this "feature" and wish to permanently disable it.
While I am at it I would like to disable the filled box around the selection, the performance of this is not good on my pretty powerful dev PC.
I seem to recall seeing some discussion a while back about some LabVIEW.ini keys that modify the edit experience, however I cannot find the conversation again.

OT: now I will not forget this the next time Buffalo rules are in place!

Buffalo rule is going to be in place from now on as soon as you arrive in the hosting city

"You can deactivate the behavior entirely by adding the following token to the LabVIEW.ini which can be found in your LabVIEW installation directory
DragAutoWire = false"
