Okay, I've been using gschem and the new selection behavior is starting
to really get to me. I click on a component and nothing happens, until
I remember that I have click on a box or such. Components are composite
objects and should behave as such. Possible approaches going forward:
* Remove the functionality completely and go back to everything being
selected using the bounding box. I would rather _not_ do this since
for things like lines, pins, etc... the new selection behavior is
quite nice.
* Make the whole selection mechanism (either bounding box or click on the
object) configurable (either the original way or the new way).
* Make just compound objects such as components and text bounding box
selectable and the rest be click-on-the-object selectable.
* ... others?
Comments? Thanks,
-Ales
PS. I would rather make another release until this behavior is
made configurable as it will confuse existing users.
