Mikado Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 The first thing I tried to do in Paint.net was to move a small (1 x 9 pixel) selection. But I can't, because every handle seems to be active within about 5 pixels of its position, so I can only resize! I had anyway zoomed for a better view, but I find that the active area of the handle expands with the zoom. I'm afraid I can only regard that as a bug, since the handle icons do not expand and the activity of the handle should be directly related to the size of its icon. This thread deals with another effect of the same problem. In any case, how can I move a small selection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flohrian Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 lol, it isnt a bug, or this bug isnt there any longer First, I had this problem too, but its very easy: Move the cursor OUT OF THE SELECTED AREA. If you have reached a few of pixels as distance, you can move the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikado Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 Wow! Action at a distance! I couldn't believe it until I tried it, but you are right (of course.) Time to start thinking out of the (selection) box. Thanks for your prompt reply. I will probably have other questions since I am used to GUIs (text processing and associated draw programs, Macintosh Draw many years ago) with completely different conventions.

Rick Brewster Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 lol, it isnt a bug, or this bug isnt there any longer It's kind of a bug, kind of not a bug At this point, I would classify it as a bug since it is causing so many people confusion.

flohrian Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 There comes up a question: What is a bug? - And what isnt a bug? :arrow: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bug "It is not a bug, it is a feature" Greets Flo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
