Help with broken manipulator tool in maya

NicoleC

So, I'v been doing this for a while and Maya seems to throw me something new every year.  Most of the time it is something simple I accidentally turned on or off.  But Im on a big deadline and this is really frustrating. So please help me.  This started out of no where.  When i select my object my manipulator is in the middle of the object where it should be, but when i go to select verts or edges or faces it moves off to some weird point in space and stays there. No matter what vert i select its not going to the vert like it should.   So, what did i do to mess it up this time.

Bring up the tool options and Reset the move/scale/rotate tools. It sounds like you set a custom pivot for components and it's sticking. I know I had something like that when the MTK first came out, but haven't seen the issue in a long time.
