Selection bug (small)

[Bebe Stanie]

Hi,

I want to report a small bug:

I created a state diagram which is larger than the window and wanted to select objects of which some are outside the view. In other tools I usually just draw a selection box with the mouse and move the mouse outside the window, and the view should scroll automatically. EA does not support this.

However, when I keep the left button down and use the scroll wheel simultaneously to force both scrolling and selecting, some strange kind of rectangular shape pops up. Just try and see for yourself.

Happy debugging,
B.S.

Although the display doesn't scroll, the selection box still goes out of the window and selects what wasn't visible.

Hi guys,

I spent a few hours looking thru this one - although it is easy to force the scroll, the current MFC implementation of Rubber Banding using CRectTracker is particularly adverse to scrolling views - as you noticed when using the scroll wheel.

I will look into this in more detail soon - in the meantime you will need to follow Ronnie's advice and extend the rubber banding past the viewport (bit of guesswork there) ... or select what you can in one go, then scroll and press the Control button while you click on the additional elements to include in the full selection.

Ronnie, Geoff,

Thanks for the advice. Another work around is just to use zoom (-) so that you can see all parts you want to select.
