Unable to add random intercept (Intercept | Dyad ID) in Mixed Model — arrow and drag not working (Mac)

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to compute ICC using the Mixed Model in jamovi, but I’m running into an issue when specifying random effects.

What I am trying to do:
  • Dependent Variable: MeanSat

    Cluster variable: Dyad ID

    Random effect: Intercept (Dyad ID)
Issue:
  • I am able to create the component “Intercept | Dyad ID” in the Components box, but:

    Clicking the arrow (→) does not move it to the Random Coefficients box

    Drag-and-drop also does not work

    The right panel shows: “Select at least one term in Random Effects”
What I have already tried:
  • Ensured the dependent variable is added

    Clicking (not dragging) before using the arrow

    Resizing the window

    Restarting jamovi

    Recreating the analysis from scratch
System details:

OS: macOS

jamovi version: 2.6.45

This seems like a UI issue rather than a setup problem. Has anyone encountered this, or is there a workaround to correctly specify the random intercept?

Thanks in advance for your help!
