Key: UDIG-703
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/UDIG-703
Project: uDIG
Type: Improvement
Components: ui
Versions: UDIG 1.1.M7
Environment: linux/gnu/X/Gnome by Ubuntu
Reporter: Adrian Custer
The cursor used by default, and the cursor to return to when not performing
operations, should cause no operation, cause a neutral operation or cause a
very cheap operation. The current zoom tool leads to very expensive and
confusing behaviour if the user clicks by mistake. This is especially true for
a quick click and drag of the mouse where the map will zoom into a blank area
and all layers will be re-rendered.
A better tool would be to use the selection tool. Alternatively, a simple arrow
cursor which does nothing would be preferable. Ideally, we would have an "info"
tool, with a cursor showing an arrow and an 'i' or simply an 'i' with the dot
being the cursor position; the tool would provide information about the
map/layers/features underneath. Any of these would lead to less confusion when
transient clicks happen.
