IntelliJ IDEA plugin for JavaFX Scene Builder drag & drop stops working

I'm working with IDEA Ultimate 2016.3, Scene Builder 2.0-b20 on MacOS Sierra.

The drag & drop feature, dragging the controls from the left side panel into the scene seems to stop working after a while. I have to restart IDEA when this happens before they start working again.

Any pointers on why this happens or how to resolve it without having to re-start IDEA are appreciated.

I've attached a screenshot in case the explanation wasn't good enough.

I faced the exact same problem. This solution worked for me. In the 'gradle' option at the right vertical toolbar of the IDE. select the project.

build->clean.

Each time it happened, I did the same. It reduced the hassle of restarting the ide.
