ConfigurableJoint Object snaps back to old position when AngularMotion locked

I'm working in Unity3D version 4.

--- In a Nutshell---

1. Two objects.

2. A ConfigurableJoint is created between them with Motionx/y/z and angularMotionx/y/z locked so their relative positions to each other doesn't change.

3. OnMouseDrag changes angularMotionx/y/z to "Free"

4. User drags one object around the other.

5. When user releases mouse, I simply set the ConfigurableJoint's angularMotionx/y/z BACK to locked.

DESIRED OUTCOME: The objects stay in their new positions, and the configged joint is again locked so the two objects won't move in relation to each other (staying where the user put them).

ACTUAL OUTCOME: The objects snap back to the original relative position they were in when the joint was made.

--- DETAILS --- I have two objects attached by a configurable joint. When the objects are NOT interacting with the user, I want the joint to constrain their relative postition to each other. I accomplish this by setting the ConfigurableJoint's motionX/Y/Z and angularMotionX/Y/Z to "Locked".

However, I also want the user to be able to drag the objects around RELATIVE to each other.

I tried to accomplish this by setting the ConfigurableJoint's angular-motion to "Free" when one of the objects is being dragged around, and then setting it BACK to Locked when the user stops dragging on object.

But when I release the object, and re-lock the angular motion - the object snaps back to its original position.

         myAnchor = new Vector3(1f, 0, 0);
