EDIT: Definitely an issue on my end, and not a bug at all. I don't want to cast any undue criticism on this very fine program!
I'm having a little trouble with the interface, and I'm guessing it's because I'm running LDCad on MacOS under Wine, but maybe it's a known bug, or perhaps my own error. There are two symptoms that appear to be related:
Any ideas? Anyone else have a similar issue?
UPDATE: It happened just now, where one part was stuck selected. Clicking in the edit window didn't do anything, but clicking other parts in the source window had an effect as if I'd shift-clicked (adding the new part and all parts in between to the selection). So it's as if LDCad thinks the shift key is pressed when it isn't (which would also explain the panning instead of rotating).
I'm having a little trouble with the interface, and I'm guessing it's because I'm running LDCad on MacOS under Wine, but maybe it's a known bug, or perhaps my own error. There are two symptoms that appear to be related:
- Selecting: Normally, [left-]clicking a part will select it, or if it's already selected, will deselect it. Also, if a part is selected, clicking a different part will select that part while deselecting the first part. But quite often, these behaviors will stop working, and the only way I can proceed is to "force" deselect everything by pressing ESC—sometimes more than once, and even if nothing is currently selected. This doesn't happen every time, and seems to occur more often in certain models than in others.
- Rotating: Normally, dragging the empty part of the edit window will rotate the camera. But again, sometimes this stops working and I have to hit ESC to proceed (when this happens, dragging the edit window will simply scroll/pan the view). Often, it will still be possible to rotate the camera by dragging the edit compass, but other times, neither the compass nor the window works; and again, sometimes it's necessary to hit ESC multiple times.
