Can't adjust repeat grid spacing

Hi. When I use repeat grid, I can only adjust the spacing between my grid items when I create the grid. If I click elsewhere, I'm unable to adjust the spacing in the repeat grid items when I return to the repeat grid. My understanding is that the space between grid elements is supposed to turn pink when I hover in the gutter, but nothing happens.

Basically, if I don't get my spacing right when I create my repeat grid, I have to redo my work, which is time consuming and incredibly frustrating. Is this a bug?

    The repeat grid must be selected to adjust the spacing. If it's not selected you won't be able to alter the spacing. Click once on the repeat grid to select it and then you should be able hover over the gap and it would highlight. If not, you are encountering unusual behavior.

    Thanks, Dan_Rodney. I did select the repeat grid. It seems to sporadically work although I sometimes have to zoom in a lot. I managed to do what I needed to do. Next time, I'll reboot and see if that works. Alas, this isn't the only XD bugginess as of late.
