Re: gEDA-user: gschem, selecting multiple symbols problem

["joe tarantino" <joeft@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think it has always worked this way.  However, it would be nice if there was a filter for the area selection rectangle.  Having it default to grabbing only instances of symbols would solve your problem, but there are often times when you might want to grab a bunch of text or attributes and that default would be undesirable.

I think there is a little problem with multi-selection in gschem 1.4.0:

When I do multi-selection by drawing a selection rectangle (holding down
left mouse button) it may occur that I get selection of a few symbols
(as desired) and get additional, undesired selection of a text attribute
of an other symbol. Now I may move the selected symbols, and with a side
effect I move the text attribute away. So it may occur that text
attributes are moved far away from symbols. I think similar results can
occur if one selects a group of some symbols in order to delete them.

When I started with gschem I had sometimes symbols with missing value or
refdes attributes -- I think this was a result of the above behavior.

My suggestion: Multi-Selection-Rectangle should not select a combination
of whole symbols and attributes of unselected symbols.

Comments?
