Joint behavior not expected

[smallfavor]

I’m trying to manipulate a series of joints but the behavior is not whats expected by moving the components.  I’ve tried to tweek the joints but I continue to get this strange behavior.

This is actually pretty much what I would expect of this joint system.  You have a lot of freedom in this assembly, so when you drag on just one component, I would expect the others to move as well.  If you want to control only one joint, I would use Drive Joint as the way to do it.

The issue I'm having is the unintuitive nature of the joints reaction to the mouse movement.
