Hi, thanks for your suggestion. This could also be related to #680 and #683. Can we combine this to a solution that this issue is covered?

I'm thinking about adding an option in the lock menu (where you can disable horizontal, vertical and zoom navigation). Maybe something like (Select only path). But it would be problematic if this is enabled by default and you want to move the image.

Maybe an option "Ignore other elements when selecting path elements"?

Don't you think if you go with (my) above solution, https://github.com/LinwoodDev/Butterfly/issues/680 can be avoided

Oh you mean this... But I think we can also change add my idea here too since if the element is only 1 pixel inside, it is inside the area. But i would add your idea too. Sorry I didn't understand the issue on the first read
