Cant split tasks

[ddelk]

I have a 5 day task. I right click the bar and get the split task cursor. I put the cursor at the halfway point in the bar, and drag to the right. This is what the help file says I should do. When I drag/drop, the task does not split it extends the bar to the right by the amount of time I moved it.

The split bar formatting is set to use a dotted line (.....) for split tasks but it is not doing so. On the task date, I see it is still 5 days and the end date increases to the last day I dragged it to.

So it seems the software is splitting the task but it is not showing it to me. Is this a setting issue in my options?

Thanks

I tried several tests and did not see what you're seeing.

What version of Project are you using?

What Constraint Type and Constraint date do you have on the task? What predecessors and successors?
