3.2 joint connector does not connect anything

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. take any two groups
2. attempt to connect with joint connector
3. Neither JC menu pops up nor a connection occurs

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
At first I thought it was this "needs 3.2 error message everyone has but 
apparently thats just a miscode somewhere.  What I expect is to be able to one 
click connect using lft cntrl as the program states I should. Instead I get 
only 1 box around 1 group and no connection.  If I click very rapidly 6 or 7 
times in a row it finally WILL connect but only after repeated rapidfire 
clicks(and it's not a guarantee anything will happen.  It's like the program 
doesn't recognize that I'm trying to do anything, and I have a very fast 
graphics/processor package so IDK what the deal is. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
V3.2  Sketchup 8.0 free, Windows Vista

Please provide any additional information below.
Is there a solution to this problem?  Do other versions have this issue?

Ok, I uninstalled 3.2 and reinstalled 3.1  Now 3.1 says "needs 3.1"  in the 
left corner.  In V3.2  It said "needs 3.2"  v3.1 still does not recognize joint 
connector. IDK what's going on.

alright, I have no idea what happened but I restarted sketchup like 3 times and 
now for what ever reason v3.1 joint connector now works. This is so weird... 
there's gotta be some weird code issue here.

I had the same problem, had to reinstall both sketchup and physics with 3.1

I had the same problem inside of wine, for me the problem was coming from SP 
not resolving key states correctly. I fixed mine by editing line 55 of 
"SketchyPhysics3/input.rb" from 

return (($win32GetKeyStateFunc.call(key)>>16)!=0)

to

return (($win32GetKeyStateFunc.call(key))!=0)

I would presume this is a problem with the new version of wine, so I dont know 
if this will do you any good inside a real windows api, but it might be worth a 
try

, actually you are suppose to press the ctrl key . It works
