Selector handle problem DPX+

[Acorn]

Another issue.

Multi-page view and select an Object close to the top of the page in a page after the first and the Head control is decapitated.



Not really impressed.

Again, for me anyhow, another surprise discovery is you can still rotate from the corners, why have a Head control at all?

Rather than have the pointer magically supply the control function, surely proximity to a control should have the control open its wares for display?
The Neck Skew or other skew controls have a very narrow hit area. All are very dependent on the current Zoom.
The old controls always kept the same margin regardless of Zoom factor.

A fail, sorry.

A fail, sorry.

Why change these things that have worked extremely well in the past. Isn't this just change for change sake? Not only that but as posters have pointed out it doesn't function in a meaningful manner as did the previous iteration.

Another annoyance is the bounding box is a lot of eye candy that actually distracts from the design.

None of it is selactable, other than the control regions so why is it needed?

The bounding box is so intimate with a Rectangle that it makes the Object appear damaged.
This affects the presentation of my buttons.

Dear Xara...

I am concerned that you are cherry-picking Threads and ignoring others.

To update a product and declare it is in development is rum, inviting people to beta, going forward.

Have you read https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...on-consistency, which is in favour but with a twist?
Have you read https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...Selectors-Fail, which is a disaster?

In summary, the new controls get in the way at low zoom, have little to indicate the modes available, get cut off, obscure other design objects, are inconsistent and just vanish.

Thank you for the Registry setting to revert.
