Preview annotation bug? Can't move a shape after it has been resized.

In the past I've been able to add a star shape to a photo in order to hide someone's identity in a photo being added to a web page. Today I found that after I'd pasted the shape and adjusted its size to fit the person's face I could no longer move it into position. I could reselect the shape and the blue handles appeared but I couldn't move it with either a mouse or the arrow keys. I tried selecting it with Command, Option, and Control keys depressed. I had the same trouble using JPEG and PNG files and I tried restarting the computer after I'd unplugged everything and held the power button down for 15 seconds.

Is anyone else experiencing the same restriction and has anyone resolved the matter?
