Description elbarto 2011-09-26 20:41:26 UTC

Version:           2.4-snapshots (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

At the moment, the only way to clear the selection (as far as I can tell) is with a hotkey or from the menu.  Clicking on the canvas should also do it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Select an area with the rectangle tool.  Click on the canvas.

Actual Results:  
The selection remains there.

Expected Results:  
The selection box should go away.

Hi Elbarto,

Thanks for your report. I'm not totally sure about whether this is a good or not, though. Maybe only if the selection tool mode is "replace selection". I think we also need to think about shared shortcuts for those modes for our selection tools, maybe even think deeper about usability for selection tool. I'm making this a usability bug accordingly. I cannot promise that we will fix this issue for 2.4, though.
