Since segments in OpenGL can be selected, the semantics are a bit different. Select a segment and a ‘G’ near its end gives you get drag-intersection behaviour while a ‘G’ in its middle gives you drag-segment.
‘M’ works in both cases as well: ‘M’ near an end gives you move-endpoint; ‘M’ in the middle gives you move-segment. I have my copper trace opacities set at about 55%, and get pretty similar transparency to Legacy. What values are you using?
