Unable to edit networks in v76/v77

Bare metal install, running FireFox
Just upgraded to v71->v76/v77, rebooted PC, cleared cache...can add new network elements when node/lab is powered down, however cannot edit existing network elements or interfaces (no menu option to allow it). Anybody run into this or do I have fat fingers again (or missed something during a previous update)? :D The Networks selection on the sidebar also lists nothing in its output. Have tried in both existing and new labs.
Edited the .unl lab file as a temporary fix.

the point to point networks are not editable, why would you need that?

when you connect multiple nodes to one network - that can be edited.

Please clarify what are you trying to edit, screenshot would be nice.

Hi Mike,
Say I have 2 IOL nodes...R1 (e0/0) connected to R2 (e0/0)...

then add a third...R1 (e0/3) connected to R3 (e0/0)...

then want to edit the connection on R1 (e0/0 -> e0/2) to R3 (e0/0)
Nodes2.png
I used to have the ability to manually edit the connected interface (on R1), now I have to delete the connection and recreate...I don't edit interfaces that often, but its something I must have missed in one of the change logs

What do you want to edit exactly there?

the best if you choose right interfaces which you want to connect initially when connection windows opens !!
When you drag and drop link node to node...such windows opening mate...
see below, you can choose interfaces which you want to connect

@mike: if I configure the connection on the R1 end as e0/0 then and want to change it to e0/2

@ud: I know, great if we get it right the first time, but the option used to be there on the node context menu to edit interfaces (as opposed to delete and re-add)...i'm guessing this was done as part of not being able to add connections to running nodes?

no mate, then you have right click delete LINK (not node) and reconnect nodes with right interfaces...edit is not possible...
Marked in red, right click on link, delete connection...
running nodes linking will be EVE Pro edition

Just delete the link and re-connect per your new needs
