IIRC, Patrick mentioned something about this a while ago,
when I had the exact same issue and there was some fix, but I don't
remember it. You may want to search the mailing list archives for
noweb and gdb and see if anything turns up.

Oh, I would be very interested in seeing what you come up here.
I've been thinking about this limitation of gschem that it doesn't support
transparent zooming (or even panning) and getting rid of this limitation
would be a major step forward. It might be a little involved, but your
basic statement about things being drawn in screen coords is probably the
cause of the problems. Now, making sure things are all in world coords
may cause other problems, but first let's try to figure out why things
break when panning. Thanks,
