I don't see what the problem is. Is the aspect is fixed, then let the pointer position one of sides adjacent to the grabbed corner (selected on the fly just as when the rectangle is being dragged out initially, holding the opposite corner's position constant). If the aspect is _not_ fixed, then move the corner itself. > It's less about breaking the UI generally but if there are > constraints - even if I enabled them myself - such a visual feedback > that I can't reach other positions could be well worth having. Isn't it visual feedback enough for you that the corner you're attempting to drag does not follow the mouse? -- Henning Makholm "I ...
