One thing that often bugs me when editing is the click-n-drag behavior<br>
of objects. Here's the outline:<br>
<br>
click and release unselected object<br>
--------------------------------<br>
* mouse down selects the object<br>
* mouse up selects the text<br>
<br>
click and release selected object<br>
--------------------------------<br>
* mouse down drags the cursor in the text<br>
* mouse up does nothing<br>
<br>
click and drag unselected object<br>
--------------------------------<br>
<br>
* mouse down moves the object<br>
* mouse up releases the drag and selects the text<br>
<br>
click and drag selected object<br>
--------------------------------<br>
<br>
* mouse down moves the cursor in the text<br>
* mouse up stops that<br>
<br>
<br>
I think that a better behavior would be this. When an unselected object<br>
is click-n-dragged, mouseup doesn't select the text or the object. Then<br>
you can move an object, then immediately move it again without having to<br>
click to deselect it first.<br>
<br>
This can be done with a 'moved' flag. But I can't really find where to<br>
put it, that code is pretty hard to follow (g_rtext.c, g_text.c, and the<br>
widgetbehavior). I attached my log of the pd-gui messages of the four<br>
cases above.<br>
