re-attach dangling dimensions

2012 SP04  and it's still a hit and miss, mostly miss, affair to re-attach dangling dims.

One can find posts complaining about it going back to 2007 and as far as I can see it doesn't seem to be gotten any better.

Or is there a super-duper secret keystroke with mouse gestures combo needed while invoking Cthulhu, to make it work that's only told to those that are brave enough?

Seriously, how many times do you try before cussing under your breath, deleting the offending dim and put a new one in ?
