Chris, What you're describing is a normal behavior when the Navigation and SelectFeature control are both activated, yes. To resolve this, you could :
* have a toolbar with your controls as buttons and only one is active at a time * have your SelectFeature control clicks work only while pressing a specific key (ctrl for example). This could be done by defining a 'keymask' to the Handler.Feature object of your SF control. * make the "select" on "hover" instead of "click", see an example [1] Hope this helps, Alexandre [1] http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/highlight-feature.html Chris Green wrote: > Alex > > Can't really offer much more except that I observe that if I comment out > selectCtrl.activate(); then I can drag the map to a new position when the > cursor is over the feature on the vector layer delivered by WFS, but if the > selectctrl is activated then dragging the map does not work when the cursor > is in that position (but it does work if the cursor is anywhere else on the > map).
