I’ve got a weird issue. I have some notes in an adornment. I want to select several, so I option-drag. When I do this, I find that instead of selecting the notes, it makes a copy of the adornment and drags it.
The really weird thing is that if I then try to undo, it does not undo the copy operation, but starts undoing previous operations.
Is this normal behaviour? I guess two questions:
How do I drag-select items that are on top of an adornment?
How do I undo if I accidentally copy and adornment - or is this a bug?
The only workaround I have found for selecting items in the adornment is to either move the adornment out the way, or start the drag in a space that does not have an adornment on it. The workaround for the undo issue is to delete the adornment manually, but inconsistencies with undo are worrying me!
Here is a gif showing the issues… I don’t have permission to add links or images yet, so you will have to add https :// to the front and remove some spaces _[admin: done!]!:
Locked adornments are not included in drag selections (see $Lock)
Because we tend to work left-to-right, top-to-bottom, we thus generally start a band-select at the top left corner, but you can start in any corner of the eventual rectangle.
Having made an (incorrect) box select, unwanted items can be individually removed by Cmd_clicking an item to delete it from the selection. In the same way, adding to a band-select result—e.g. another note further away on the map) can be achieved via Cmd+click on that note. Thus, Cmd+click toggles the clicked item/in out of the current selection (this is true for any view type allowing multiple selections)
