gEDA-bug: [Bug 700841] Re: gschem: during selection invisible attributes extend component bounding box

[Peter Clifton <pcjc2@xxxxxxxxx>]

As a further experiment - we're also using a syntax in bug comments
which would be appropriate here.

In the first two patches, please include the line:

  Affects-bug: lp-700841

For the third patch (which is the main crux of this bug, and since it is
the last in thes series), add the line:

  Closes-bug: lp-700841


There isn't yet an automated robot to close / comment on bugs based on these strings in the commit log, but I'm working on one right now ;)

Title:
  gschem: during selection invisible attributes extend component bounding box 

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Intermittently gschem gets into a state when promotable (visible) attributes within a component extend component's bounding box used for selection calculations.
In such cases component might not be selected even if selection rectangle encloses component's graphics and pins.
It is also possible to select the component by clicking on an empy space far away from it - because in the symbol file a visible attribute is located at that offset.

It is expected that components can be always selected by drawing a selection rectangle that encloses all graphical elements and pins.

When the bug occurs, toggling "show/hide invisible text" restores correct behavior.
