Description Ulrich.Windl 2007-11-26 07:49:27 UTC 
The new foreground selection tool has two usability problems:
1) It's completely non-obvious that the user has to press Enter to convert the colored area into a selection after having finished to trace the countour
2) When trying to "improve" the selected area, it's easy to mess up the previous work, and very annoyingly, there's no "undo" while selecting foreground (As compared to the normal selection operations, every step can be undone to revert to the previous selection)

For 1) I suggest to display a button in the tool option for "Make Selection"
For 2) I suggest to implement "undo" (if possible)
