Can't deselect a net segment

[John P. Doty]

In gschem shift-click toggles the selection status of the targeted object. This is necessary when a box selection encompasses more than you want to select. However, in recent versions (1.6, 1.8), this does not work for net segments. Instead, it *extends* the selection to all touching net segments, the opposite of what is needed.

[KaiMartin (kmk-familieknaak)]

This annoying behaviour has already been fixed. With version 1.9, compiled from git I can unselect net segments just fine.

I agree with jpd, this behaviour is annoying.

Fixed in commit 3b46ea47d7e0.

    gschem: Change selection rules to make it easier to deselect nets.

    gschem has a feature for selecting all connected net segments on a
    sheet. It works by looking for a click on a selected net segment in
    select mode. Unfortunately, this prevented deselection of a net
    segment using Shift+<mouse-1> or Ctrl+<mouse-1> if that net segment
    has any connected, unselected net segment.

    This patch prevents selection of connected net segments if a modifier
    key is pressed.
