Well we don't do that when snapping to guides and the grid either, and as said before, it's a totally non-standard way of dealing with snapping. The mouse pointer should always be driven by the user, not by the application, and until recently, gtk didn't even have an API to wrap the mouse, for just that reason. We won't add that to GIMP. ciao, --mitch > In this case we have a corner of an aspect constrained rectangle selected. > Both x and y movements are allowed but as these two have to a strict > relationship any movement by the user that doesn't follow this relationship > (for every 3 pixels horizontally move 2 pixels vertically) will end up having > the pointer and the corner being so far apart that the visual relationship > between the pointer and the selection isn't aparent any more.
