Link selection sucks

[GoogleCodeExporter]

please look at the Exclusive Live Screencast I am attaching to this bug
report! :) also attached is the mind map used when the bug happened

I cannot really explain how to reproduce, but *certain* thoughts (maybe
because they have parentheses?) will trigger some weird bug when you create
more than one child thought from them.

All the thoughts will disappear but the lines are still there. Closing and
reopening the map works around the problem. Damn frightening however.

Spits an enormous traceback (also attached to this bug report).

Partially fixed by:
2007-05-15 Don Scorgie <Don@Scorgie.org>

    * src/MainWindow.py:
    * src/Browser.py:
    Don't ellipsize text in Browser while still space available (issue #61)

    * src/MainWindow.py:
    Attempt to reduce "over" movement when scrolling (slightly but not a huge 
    amount better)

    * src/Links.py:
    Fix disappearing thoughts when links selection code fails
    (It still fails, but less so now) Partial fix for issue #62

    * src/MMapArea.py:
    Add initial thought navigation using arrow keys

The issue is that the algorithm for drawing selection around links is ... 
fragile. 
It appears my uber-leet math-fu skills aren't as great as I though.  I'll 
revisit
link selection soon and hopefully get a better version working.  Changing title 
and
marking as accepted to reflect updated info.
