ConstraintLayout chain context menu no longer visible in Android Studio












0















Using Android Studio 3.4 Canary 9 and 10
ConstraintLayout 2.0.0.alpha3



I am having an issue with constraint layout in the bleeding edge build of Android Studio 3.4 canary 9. Basically, when you click on a view in constraint layout, say on a chain element, you should be able to see small icons appear that allow you to perform certain actions on the views.



Constraint Layout wth context menu buttons



As you can see, under each view are 3 buttons that allow you to change the chain settings. However, this is what I get in my layout editor on 3.4.C09 when clicking on an element in a chain:



Missing context menu in 3.4.C09



Did they get disabled or moved elsewhere? Is this a bug? I have looked everywhere in the IDE without any luck, tried zooming in / zooming out, changing the theme, invalidating caches/restart, clean rebuild etc.



Thank you for any help provided!
