23:02 johan_e : su_v: you there?
23:02 johan_e : i have 2 bugs :(
23:03 johan_e : want to know if there are known
23:05 johan_e : su_v: when i select an object, then press Alt and release: mouse pointer stays in the "alt-move" modus
23:14 su_v : johan_e: re bug 1: it is correct that just the cursor symbol doesn't switch back, but if you actually click and drag, the selection is in normal mode?
23:14 johan_e : yes
23:14 johan_e : so not so bad
23:19 su_v : johan_e: re cursor symbol: in stable it's worse (the hand symbol disappears completely when 'Alt' is released, even if the object is still under the cursor)
23:20 johan_e_ : :/
23:40 su_v : johan_e: re mouse cursor:
23:40 su_v : http://
23:40 su_v : changed it at least so that the cursor still shows a symbol
23:41 su_v : but as you noticed, it doesn't switch back to normal move cursor if 'Alt' is released
23:41 su_v : before that revision, it was like in stable: the cursor switched to the system arrow without symbol when 'Alt' is released
23:43 su_v : johan_e: https:/
23:47 johan_e_ : su_v: so why don't we revert that change?
23:47 su_v : to make it worse?
23:47 su_v : I'm against it
23:47 su_v : ;)
23:47 su_v : it's actually better now than before
23:47 johan_e_ : ah?
23:48 johan_e_ : ok, i misunderstood your comment then
00:02 su_v : johan_e_: I can't find a report which is focused on what happens to the cursor symbol of the select tool, when 'Alt' is released (neither for the behavior in stable, nor for trunk)
