[GRASS-user] wxGUI Vector Map Editing: Unselecting Feature

   When editing (digitizing) a displayed existing vector map in version
6.5svn, is there a way to de-select a feature inadvertently selected for
removal? I've not seen that option so I must be looking in the wrong place.

Rich,
I'm often in your situation. Ctrl+left click should do the job, but it
does not : Ctrl+left click unselects the whole bunch of selected
features and selects the one the click captured. I (you too ?) wish it
would do the opposite.

Can't help.
Bye,
Vincent.

Vincent,

   Then all that ctrl-left click does is change the selected features.
Perhaps a de-select option will be added Real Soon Now.

Thanks,

Rich

   There's actually a serious bug in the GUI editing: selecting to not save
changes saves them anyway. If an incorrect boundary line is selected I often
find that I cannot de-select it by left-clicking somewhere else. Wanting to
bail out, I select Quit -> Do not save changes. However, the line segment is
removed anyway.

   I'm now about to re-run r.to.vect for a third time and will once again try
to get rid of the spurious areas in the vector map. Not sure if I can make
time this weekend to look at the code to see what's broken. I have no idea
what function is handing the digitizing exit choices.
