Moritz,
Could you try with clicking inside the coordinate box of the layer desired
before trying to place with a mouse?
Doesn't change anything.
Also, I've had luck with deselecting
and reselecting the place with mouse check box for a layer.
This works.
This is kind a hack, since you can't really place these items interactively
with the current setup (but you can with wxgrass). What is going on is that
clicking with a mouse will pick up screen coordinates, which are then passed
back to the coordinate field for the layer in question. If the desired layer
is not active the coordinates will end up in the wrong box or it won't be
able to find the box it is supposed to put them in.
But the desired layer _is_ active, i.e. highlighted in yellow.
There may be other
causes that make the coordinates end up in the wrong layer too.
It sounds more like the variable which determines which layer to
attribute the coordinates to is not reinitialised when you select a
layer. It only is when you uncheck+check the "place with mouse" box.
In view of the upcoming wxgrass gui, and unless identifying the culprit
in the tcl/tk gui is not too difficult, knowing that unchecking+checking
solves the problem is probably enough for me for now (maybe we should
add a hint somewhere).
