Mouse pointer incorect at two corners of object resize
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
The mouse pointer, when passing over the handles in the bottom left and top right of a sheet object, needs to invert so it's pointing to the bottom left and top right. Currently the pointer is the same at all four corners. 1) new gnumeric 2) In the object toolbar, select the rectangle object 3) click on the worksheet to add the rectangle object 4) move the mouse pointer over the four corner handles ==> the mouse pointer always changes to a box with two arrows pointing to the upper left and lower right. I would expect the arrows allways to point into and out of the graph so I'd like there to be a mirror image made of the pointer (reflected through a vertical axis). That way the pointer would always point into and out of the graphical element. --adrian
Hardly major.
Created attachment 31581 [details] [review] Possible patch There is no suitable standard cursor that mirrors the sizing cursor. We have two options: 1. Roll our own. 2. Use a cursor set that has all eight directions. [This patch]

Comment on attachment 31581 [details] [review] Possible patch The problem is that the current implementation can invert the shape. This is useful when drawing arrows but not when drawing charts. I'd previously tried to use these and decided against it because it became ugly to change the cursors. I'll work up a patch that uses the suggested cursors, but handles inversions.
