Bone Tool Goes Crazy

I am trying to use the bone tool. I parent together my limbs, but then when I click to connect certain limbs-- it catapults a bunch of somewhat parented body parts to another part of the screen. No matter what I do I can't practically use the bone tool. Certain layers keep moving without my command, or sometimes vanishing entirely.

Yeah, the bone tool has always been buggy. You should try the 3rd party plugin smart magnetic rig.

Stay away from the Bone Tool if you want to keep your sanity.

I have attached some screenshots. The first one is me using the Bone tool, then it catapults away. The second is trying to save a moving timeline as a symbol and once I do it disjoints it all. Bizarre. I am an amateur though so maybe I am just missing something. Thank you!
