[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.
