gEDA-bug: [Bug 707747] [NEW] [ctrl-a] does not select hidden objects.



Public bug reported:

In gschem the new accel key [ctrl-a] does not select hidden objects.
This is not, what is intuitively expected. "Select-all" should really
select all -- not "all, except for some, which happen to fullfill a
requirement".

Some use cases, that would benefit from including all objects:

1) Move all artwork away from the boundary of the canvas. This is
frequently needed in symbol edit mode.

2) Catch items that were accidently moved beyond the boundary of the
canvas.

3) Delete all, to start from scratch with an empty canvas.
