Add Acccessory shapes not working

I have the setting turned off to drop accessory shapes onto the drawing page when the parent item is dropped. What I am expieriencing is that the when I drag a single wire from my project editor, it is dropping a network switch on the page too. I confimed several times that I didn't have multiple items selected when dragging from the project editor to my drawing page so something is both backwards and ignoring the setting.
Summary dragging an items accessory shape to the drawing page is dropping another item for no reason that I can tell.

Is the switch already connected to the wire on another drawing? If so, is it already connected on a schematic page and now you are dropping on a plan view?

Kevin Frye It was previously drawn on a different page, then deleted once it was decided that there was a better way to draw it. So it wasn't on another page at the time. It was weird that an accesssory wire item was bringing in the parent. I would understand the reverse has the option been turned on, but not the other way around.

Eric Kalpakoff I believe the connection data is maintained even after deleting. You can confirm by selecting the wire in the BOM and choosing View Connections.
