[darktable-dev] Trouble selecting the outer line on drawn masks

[Shane Simmons]

I have a question. How, exactly, am I supposed to reliably select the outer 
line of a drawn mask (the fade line)? I'm having a hard time dealing with this, 
as it tends to disappear as soon as I move my cursor 
over it. It's getting really annoying, and I wonder if this is a bug. I 
remember it in 1.6 though, too.

I don't believe you can.  Roll the mouse wheel over the "fade" area or the
mask possibly in combination with ,  or .  Not at my
desktop atm and don't remember :)

Also don't remember to complete the post.  The key combinations are to
enlarge/shrink the mask and/or fade area.  But I don't believe you can
automagically "select" the fade area.

We do acknowledge that neither of the cases is optimal, so we will try
to fix it some other way in the future.

If you _really_ see that the performance is that much worse with 2
threads, i'd go with self-compile.
