Can't move Caesura

Caesura and Fermata are conflicting, so I tried to move Caesura in Engraving mode, but no matter what value I put in, it does not move.

How can I move it to the left?

alt/option arrows?

Edit: See @benwiggy answer below

You can’t have a caesura and fermata at exactly the same beat position. You’ll have to alt-click a copy to the left hand side of the fermata, and the delete the one on the right.

This sometimes happens in the parts when a fermata and a caesura are in the same measure.

In that case, you can go to Engrave Mode > Note Spacing (not Graphic Editing) and move the square (this will drag the place of the beat and the caesura together, without affecting the other layouts)
