[GRASS-dev] gis.m symbol error in cvs

On two systems I've tried, choosing point symbols results in a format of

box@basic

instead of

basic / box

As a result, the display of points fails

Hi,
You are right. It's broken.

Seems, that we need to go back to old, (ugly) code, if nobody comes up
with better solution. See attached patch. Somebody test && commit.

I tested it locally and it works on my one system ( I don't have access to the other today ). I don't have cvs access so I can't commit it.

I just ran into this too. I'm not sure whether it's only a product of my
changes of some weeks back to make multiple selections functional (there was
quite a bit of broken code that I fixed) or a combination of that and some
other changes elsewhere in GRASS. I thought I'd tested all aspects of
select.tcl, including symbol selection, but maybe I missed this part.

There is a special procedure for symbols that was inserted into select.tcl
awhile back (>1yr). Some of this may be what broke multi-selection code, but
I can't be sure of that. Now that multi-selection functionality is working
again, I'll look to see what is causing this problem with symbol selection.
It looks relatively simple to fix--but looks can sometimes be deceiving.
