I'm having issues changing a pcell after generating it
I'm on 8.3.413, PDK is the one installed on mpw9g tag caravel_user_project: 78b7bc32ddb4b6f14f76883c2e2dc5b5de9d1cbc
I open magic, insert a cell. then open the options and turn off guard ring

Looks like you have the top cell selected, which happens if, for instance, you select with the 
s
key outside the cell. The white text in the middle is the name of the cell that you selected. "(UNNAMED)" is the (not yet set) name of the top level layout, not the gencell (which is what I call the parameterized cell). Put the cursor over the cell and use the 
i
key ("i" for "instance") to select the instance. Then the parameter window should match the selected cell.
I'm not entirely confident that my answer matches the observed behavior. Your version of magic is a bit behind (8.3.413 vs. current version 8.3.462), so it could be just a version issue.

I'm pretty sure I'm selecting the cell - using 'i' and seeing the instance name

Can you please try updating magic and seeing if that corrects the problem?
m
yes tried and yes it works
I am getting closer
t
I think you were using a version from after I attempted to put a scrollbar on the parameter window but mostly just succeeded in screwing stuff up.

ha
it did used to work, I'm sure I used it before
t
If it completely didn't work, I would have noticed right away.
