Alternate suggestion - when the current selection exceeds the boundaries of the current image window, render marching ants along the window's interior border. (Maybe with half opacity to help distinguish it from the selection's actual edges.) However, I also agree it's not a common issue because the default mode for all select tools is "replace". Note that when you use modifier keys to activate a selector mode you can release the modifier immediately after making the first click (useful for a variety of things, like constrained-angle-polygonal or square-not-rectangular selections). -- Stratadrake [email protected] -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
