I can not directly select any body part with the mouse. 

When I have view port layout set up for 4 view ports the pose tools do not work.  But when I use a single perspective view everything is ok.  BUT I would like to work in 4 views to pose.  Here is what is happening.

 

Pose Tool

I can not mouse select any body parts with the pose tool directly.  The only way I can activate a body part to move it is to selected it via the figure hierarchy tree then move the body part. 

 

Rotate Tool

If I select the rotate tool click the figure it dose not activate the tool.

If I then go and select a body part via the figure hierarchy tree it highlights the body part with the rotate obit around the joint, BUT when I go to mouse click to drag the wheel it the orbit disappears.  Furthermore I can not directly select the body part to activate the rotate orbit, I must use the tree to activate it. 

 

Translate Tool

Same thing is happing with translate tool as soon as I go to click on the body part the bounding box disappears. 

 

Is there a preferences that needs to be turned on?   Am I doing something wrong? 

 

The power pose and parameter based poseing dose work.
