Git commit 20b1d819faa126a05b85e6b394a26bdbc901ce75 by Jan Hambrecht. Committed on 02/06/2012 at 14:59. Pushed by jaham into branch 'master'. improve visual feedback when dragging path curve when changing a path curve directly by dragging it, there was no real feedback for the user to see if starting to drag would change the curve or doing a rubberbanbd selection. now the cursor is being updated to reflect if the mouse is onb a path segment. additionally a status text is shown in the status bar. i also refactored the corresponding code a little to reuse the result of the path segment under the mouse cursor.

I could not find a way to reproduce this problem reliably, but basically when I create a random curve and begin playing with it, it always happens. |
Created attachment 70147 [details] Karbon displaying a rubberband when I shoud not This is not easy to reproduce, but here is how I generally observe this behaviour: Create a closed Bézier curve with 6 points. Play with the location of control points and with the handles a little. Manipulate the curve directly: click and drag on the curve. Instead of a modification of the curve, you sometimes have a blue rubberand; therefore you're unable to modify the curve. The situation sometimes comes back to normal after one click. This is unpredictable. There should be a visual indication that a drag from this point with allow a direct modification of the curve.
