It still does this.. but I see the effect you are referring to. The placed object is selected, and drawn orange - but there is immediately a new object ready to be placed attached to the cursor. That object sits in front of the one you just placed, and hides its colour. The "old" way (IIRC), was that the object being placed was XOR'd with the screen, so you would see some other colour when they were on top of each other. Does it feel any better with the attached patch applied? Best wishes, Peter C.

(This made it appear that the object had not been placed). The rubberband objects attached to the cursor are re-drawn as soon as the mouse moves. --- gschem/src/x_event.c | 2 -- 1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/gschem/src/x_event.c b/gschem/src/x_event.c index d13255b..0986520 100644 --- a/gschem/src/x_event.c +++ b/gschem/src/x_event.c @@ -298,7 +298,6 @@ gint x_event_button_pressed(GtkWidget *widget, GdkEventButton *event, i_update_toolbar(w_current); } else { o_place_invalidate_rubber (w_current, TRUE); - w_current->rubber_visible = 1; } break; @@ -589,7 +588,6 @@ gint x_event_button_released(GtkWidget *widget, GdkEventButton *event, w_current->inside_action = 1; /* Keep the state and the inside_action, as the copy has not finished. */ o_place_invalidate_rubber (w_current, TRUE); - w_current->rubber_visible = 1; i_set_state(w_current, ENDMCOPY); i_update_toolbar(w_current); o_undo_savestate(w_current, UNDO_ALL); -- 1.6.3.3
