Resize elements (line, graphics, wire, ...) doesn't works after last code tools migration in Eeschema.

@Hildo, can you be more specific? What tool were you using? What hotkey or context menu item?

[Hildo Guillardi Júnior (hildogjr)]

I think it's related with a wrong report that I made about the extinct <tab> command. But:

1) Draw a line;
2) Press <m> to move;
3) It's OK (just a exemplification);
4) Press <g> to drag;
5) It have the same behavior of <m> and I can't expand the line.

Other strange behavior is on the video. Pressing <g>, the behaviour is really strange when have a junction.

[Michael Kavanagh (michaelkavanagh)]

I interpreted this as not being able to resize a graphic line in Eeschema (used to be able to move a endpoint with 'G'). I assumed Eeschema would eventually get the drawing tools from Pcbnew (edit lines etc by selecting and dragging the handles around).

@Jeff, ah, looks like your latest commits solved it.

Lines do have handles now, but wires and busses don't. It'd be easy enough to add, it just felt a bit weird to me....

[Michael Kavanagh (michaelkavanagh)]

This discussion should probably be moved to the mailing list as its not related to this bug, but I'd be in favour of having handles for wires and buses also (with forced 90° angles by default, unlike regular graphic lines). See [1] for some inspiration.

[Hildo Guillardi Júnior (hildogjr)]

Sometimes I need to do a free (not force 90° angles) wires, but it's a exception in the schematic to, for example, represent crossing wire cables. So, could be a option to disable, but default keep 90°.
