implement a scheme where if the user selects only 1 line it then deselects and
pops up my own selection handles, though that might be a bit ugly.

Since you already have code in place to use your homegrown selection
handles, can you adjust things so that the line doesn't actually have to be
"selected" to make changes? My guess is that the small button you
implemented can be dragged, and then you do your magic and adju
I have an app that I'm migrating from LC 6.6.5 to 8.1.9. In it, a user creates
documents that may consist of lines, boxes, text areas and images that they
insert. There's been a big change between 6.6.5 and 8.1.9 in the selection
handles on objects. In 6.6.5, the selection handles on
Actually, I really appreciate Adobe Illustrator's object properties dialog.
Sometimes I LIKE being able to define an object's dimensions by typing in
coordinates. CAD designers do this all the time. Of course, advanced features
like snap to point make this mostly obsolete, but if you need a wall
The software should allow you to select the handle of the foreground object if
only one is selected, and if multiple objects are selected, the nearest
neighbor to your click point. If anchors are so close as to conflict, you
should be able to zoom in. I think this is a non-issue.

Just a general agreement here, I also have some issues with the new
design for selections. The circular handles look strange to me but it's
an adjustment I can deal with. The dotted outline bothers me more
because it is harder to see the edges of the object, though I suspect it

And there's the difference between engineering and user experience:
It may be bigger, but if it's visually ambiguous user's won't be able to
know that.

Yes, it is impossible to resize an object's width or height to zero (or
within (size of handle) of zero) when the handles are inside the object.
Also, you could not previously make a line straight using the selection

Anyway, if my vote counts at all, rectangular handles inBoard, a la v.6.

Instead of declaring that this is how it should be, it's much better to
provide examples and justification. I just checked, and every application I
have on this computer does selection handles with the center of the handle
on the boundary of the object.

Greetings! Is there a property to change the shape of the selection handles
when using the selection tool? In LC 9 (and 8), they are round circles that
protrude outside the edge of the control. In previous versions, they were
squares that remained within the rect of the control. These

Personally I'd just save your stack in '7' format and get on with things
in version 7.
Perhaps not the best idea to do 'serious' work with a Developer Preview

Double clicking will invoke the inspector, I can see the name of the object,
but it is not selected. Actually it is, because I can move it around, change
colors etc.
Even after rebooting LC this behavior now persists
