Comment 3 for bug 1658823

Hi,
    thanks for the info. using your instructions I got it to work. I had been using exactly the same method as I had always used on 0.92.x and before, but in this new gui it did not work. The problem is that there is literally only a 1 pixel high area where the cursor changes to the appropriate value, and if one is not incredibly patient, then the cursor will never change at all.

not sure how to proceed here. Technically the bug is fixed, yet it is inconceivable to me that any casual user will ever master this operation without help. In Inkscape 0.92.x, and before, the area where the cursor would respond was at least 3 or 4 pixels high, so that a slow scan of the mouse would always show up the correct cursor change. Now the area is 1 pixel high so that the only way to detect the change is by having the patience of Job and by knowing ahead of time that this is supposed to work.
