copper fill blocker exists and blocks selection in schematic. #4141

Open vanepp opened 4 months ago

Current Behaviour

In this sketch

Project_v2.fzz.zip

the user added copper block fills in pcb like this:

capture2

here in schematic, I left clicked to select where the green arrow is and in Inspector we see the copper block blkr1 part in Inspector being selected.

capture

Moving the varistor in to the copper block area like this

capture1

makes it impossible to select the varistor. You can right click on the blocker but it doesn't bring up the raise/lower dialog or let you move it (likely because it has no implementation in schematic.) You can right click on the varistor and rotate it, but you can't move it (presumably it selects the blkr1 part, but can't select or move it which is likely sensible in schematic.)

Build: Version 1.0.2 (bCD-1901-0-dbdbe34c 2023-12-20) 64 [Qt 6.5.3]

Operating System: Windows 10

Steps to reproduce:

Expected Behaviour

Best would be to not render the blocker in schematic at all, and thus not block part selection, but if that is not possible, being able to move the position of the blocker may be enough (although new users are unlike to recognize the copper block is the problem!) an alternative may be to not select the blocker parts in schematic if that is easier to implement.
