It looks like 0.9.7 was quietly released a few days ago and that has broken the generic IC stuff (at least on Windows, haven’t tried the linux version yet but I would be surprised if it is different there.) Looks like the swapping code has bitten them to me, but I guess we will see.
I am new to Fritzing, the first version I downloaded was 0.9.7 on Windows, and was disappointed to find out about this bug - first project I was trying to design and I can’t use a dip IC, very frustrating, and I don’t have a previous version I can revert to. Will this bug be fixed soon?
It is fixed, i am currently signing the releases. There is a delay on macOS, but if that delays further I’ll upload the fix for Linux and Windows at least
As well, on the download page you can download version 0.9.6 where it works (although I found what may be an error case in 0.9.6 when changing the size of an existing part last night.) Waiting for the fixed version of 0.9.7 is probably the best bet though.

I’m stuck - will a new MAC update be available soon to fix this please?
As Kjell’s post above about the fix said there will be a delay for the Mac version due to signing (perhaps Apple has to approve the signing?) so your choices are to wait for the new version of 0.9.7 or downgrade to 0.9.6 which works and should be available on the bottom of the downloads page in the previous versions section.
