Re: gEDA-user: PCB refdes selection problems... solved

["joe tarantino" <joeft@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've seen the same behavior going back several revisions.  At some point certain refdes text becomes unselectable.  Sometimes restarting the program helps, sometimes I can get it back by turning layers off and on as you describe.

A related issue I've seen is that pcb sometimes has a preference for selecting text on the opposite side of the board from the one I'm working on.

And having silkscreen text in the area that is not a refdes can also make the selection problem worse.

Guys,
 Thanks for the ideas and hints.  I apparently bumped into
 something that starting everything to work again.  It
 seems that turning off all visible layers and then silk
 only enabled me to grab the text.  I moved a few refdes,
 then enabled the other usual visible layers and it now
 works like before.  Strange.

 Surely there is some subtle bug under this, but characterizing
 or replicating it would be tough.

 Whatever, for now, back to work. Thanks for the help.

 Roger
