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

[Peter TB Brett <700841@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay, so I did:

1) a merge from current stable-1.6 to master, which generated some
rather minor & expected conflicts.

2) backported the patches.

3) a second merge, which had conflicts that could be resolved just by
picking the unstable version in each case.

So I'll go ahead and push my backported patches to stable-1.6, I think.
If we decide we don't want the libgeda API change (which, as Peter C
rightly pointed out, is minor) then we can always revert them.

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

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  Fix Committed

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.
