Ends of curved line won't extend in Keynote

I tried to edit the above discussion but ran out of time editing. So here is an update.

The issue may relate to the inserted curved lines being coupled to the existing layers or text boxes: I found some of the missing curved lines in the background, and there also an empty text box that I deleted. This released one end of some of the curved lines, and I was able to drag those ends into new posiitons. But the other ends points of the same curved lines remained unresponsive! So I Selected All items to make sure all are unlocked and ungrouped but they were already so. Any ideas?

Thanks Kyn.

I started by clicking the "Shape" icon on top of the Keynote toolbar. This is one of the six icons in the center of the toolbar, right below the filename.

When the "Shape" icon is clicked, a window of shapes opens and the top row includes a curve, straight line, and an arrow. Only the curve seems to have this issue. When the curved line is selected, and re-clicked on the slide, a curve is dropped on the slide. Once I tried to adjust the size and placement of the shape, the "end" point locks onto the textbox behind the shape which contains a pasted Preview screen scan (map). Although the "Start" point of the curve seems to be free to adjust, the "End" point remains fixed. Note that the textbox and shape I referenced are "Unlocked" and "Ungrouped." I am puzzled as to why the "End" point of the curve line, locks to the center of the textbox below.

When I attempt the same process, without having a textbox in the background, the curved line drops fine on the slide and is completely editable and managable.

Kyn,

Thanks to you, I am now able to insert curved lines and arrow, with both ends re-postionable. Now, do you know how to make these lines thicker? The Inspector Format>Style>Stroke only includes a couple of pre-set styles, none of which make the line any thicker?
