Ah, ok.  Fixed.  The CVS checkout does the same thing, but at least
that warns you.

It's still on the to-do list.  I want to allow either vertical or
horizontal flipping, and perhaps an auto-show-layers option so you
only see the layer you would really see (with the rest drawn in the
"invisible objects" color or something).  Correct gerbers was higher
priority ;-)

You mean, because it selects a pin or the name instead of the whole
element?  Or something else?

I've noticed that at VERY high zooms (i.e. 1 mil traces) it sometimes
picks a nearby trace instead of the one I clicked on.  Need to find
out why.
