Re: gEDA: zooming while drawing concept: discussion

Hi Werner,

	Sorry I haven't responded earlier, but I like the concept
and I played with your changes in CVS and they seem to work just fine.

	Cool.  Thanks.  This will be nice for those people that expect
transparent zooming and panning.   Very nice.

	Yup.  These seem to work okay.

	I did notice something that broke.  I'm not sure if it is 
related to your changes or Dan's select/unselect hooks.   The selection
box no longer seems to select things.   To reproduce:

1) Draw some nets, add some components whatever.
2) Enter select more ('s')
3) Draw a selection box around any of the objects.
4) Notice that they no longer select or even change to the select color.

I haven't had a chance to look at why this broke.  I will look into this,
unless I'm beaten to the fix. :)

Werner, thanks for you work on this transparent zoom/pan capability.
This is a really nice improvement and will reduce the user complaints
by at least one thing. :)
