turning off patchcord reassign feature

[LaotzeSunHammer]

I noticed that M4L includes a new feature to where you can hover over an inlet to turn the inlet blue and move the connecting patchcord to another place. I find this more annoying than helpful, how do you turn it off? Can't find anything in the prefs.

I was wondering this too. It's great when I want it but I find sometimes i grab the wrong cable when a lot are crossing in a small space.

i actually broke two patchers without noticing with this.

GREAT feature when i want it.

TERRIBLE when i didnt realize i used it.

maybe a modifier key to use it for the clumsy among us?

this will be a Max 5.1 feature
I also had to get used to it, but this is a real time saver, no more need to delete a patch cord then draw a new one.
a tip: click on the cord (on the middle) itself to get the blue dot

i would strongly agree that this should be a optional behavior. i'm actually afraid to do patching in complex patches with this new feature. I've spent a lot of time (albeit, limited to a little over a week of playtime) correcting problems that occurred from the dynamic re-routing--most especially (and dangerously) when i had no idea it had happened until the patch was broken.
