All these options can be used, some are better for some situations, some for others but I really think there is one much much better solution: To click on the object I want to select. This might instead select some other object (or guide) that is above the object I want to select. If this happens, I just hold the Ctrl key and keep clicking until the object I want to select gets selected. I believe the above option should work always, no matter what situation. It seems to me as an importarnt issue of uniformity and consistency of Scribus interface. I really believe this to be a "much better solution" as you mentioned but I see it's possible for someone to argue that this is just personal preference. I will open a ticket describing this issue. Let's see if it gets traction there with some dev (despite my felling that I might already be talking to some devs here ;) Regards, Rodrigo Severo ___ Scribus Mailing List: [email protected] Edit your options or unsubscribe: http://lists.scribus.net/mailman/listinfo/scribus See also: http://wiki.scribus.net http://forums.scribus.net
