CLOSED: Selection rectangle selects figs it's not touching

Postby stykzman on Sun Dec 21, 2008 3:26 pm

 
THIS WAS FIXED FOR THE RELEASE OF Stykz 1.0b2/MAC

Bug:
    When you use the Select tool to click on the Stage and drag to create a selection rectangle, it can appear to be selecting figures that the rectangle is not touching or enclosing.
Explanation:
    The selection routines work against the figure's "bounding box", which is a virtual rectangle that encompasses all of the lines/nodes of a figure. So when the selection rectangle intersects the bounding box, it marks it as selected.
Workaround:
    Instead of using the selection rectangle, you can hold down the Shift key and click on individual figures to add them to your selection. (So click the first figure you want selected, then Shift-click the rest.)
Comments:
    This will be fixed for the official 1.0 release.
