Selection tolerance for annotators #257

Closed kcpevey closed 5 years ago

kcpevey commented 5 years ago

I think the tolerance for selecting things in the drawings (i.e. how close to the center of a node do I have to click in order to select it) is too small. I continue to be frustrated by trying to select something and accidentally creating a new thing instead. Then of course I have to select that thing I just accidentally created in order to delete it, which often I don't successfully select and end up creating another.... its a vicious cycle.

Am I the only one?

The only option I'm aware we have here is increasing the size of the points as the hit testing is performed on the actual point extents.

Hmm... I'll have to check that out. I don't think that's what I was seeing.

This still frustrates me as I'd prefer not to include huge points all the time, but I've gotten a little more used to the functionality. I'll close since there's nothing to be done.
