Perhaps some combination of world size, pixel size, and relative-to-the-line size ranges with rules about which ones have priority? Then you get mostly consistent handles, with limits on how big/small they can get relative to usability - I.e. if the width of the handle had an upper limit of 50% t

I am working on some intricate gschem symbols. If a line is selected, a square-shaped handle appears on each end. However, when I zoom in these handles become bigger. This defeats the point of zooming in, because it remains extremely difficult select the small lines among all the overlapping hand
