Text selection still broken! Segments not being selected when zoomed out

Frustrating!  I reported this (I think) about a year ago, and no fix!

 

  1. Create a Sketch
  2. Sketch some text  (example is in Arial at 10mm height)
  3. Close Sketch
  4. Zoom out so that the text is small on the screen
  5. Box select the text
  6. Hit Delete
  7. Zoom in
  8. See that not all segments were actually selected, and some are still there!
  9. The box select should have selected all segments within the selection area!
  10. This process works if you are zoomed in, but not when zoomed out...if I drag seelct, I want all to be selected, not remnants behind, no mater what the zoom level!

Zoomed out:

Text selected:

Zoomed back in:

Hit delete, and see remnants:

Hello @nkloski,

 

Can you share the file you are having issues with?  I have attached a screencast that goes through your workflow and I do not get the same results.  Could you also provide some information on why you are exploding the text, I assumed that you are do this from your images.

hi!  Thanks!

 

Here is a screencast showing what I was talking about.....in your screencast you did not zoom out far enough to encounter the problem!

Hi,

 

Can you turn on "select through" option in the seletion filter list and try again? When the "select through" is unchecked, Fusion will just try to select those "visible" objects which are not covered by other ones. In this case, some line segments are degenerated into one pixel on the screen and as such they cover each other when the zooming level is small, which leads to the uncertainty about which ones should be selected. 

 

Thanks

Turning on "select through" does indeed work...but I should not have to do that, right? There is no concept of "selecting through" for something that is completely flat on a plane.

Fusion should not have this "uncertainty" based on an arbitrary zoom level. The application should work the same way in all view/zoom levels. I would say that this is a bug since no one would want an application to have this in its notes:

-this application works in one way
-BUT, based on an arbitrary "boundary condition", the application will work in a different way
-AND there is no way of determining what that boundary condition is, you will just experience it when you hit it, and be confused

Right?

Hi, 

 

I agree with you. This is definitely a limitation for now and we hope we would be able to fix it. The reason why it is still not fixed is our underlying implementation for the "select visible" behavior is initially designed for the body face/edges manipulation and it couldn't handle the sketch entities well(in this particular case, the text is actually broken down into a bunch of line segments and points) so it is not easy unless we make some fundamental change to the selection pipeline. We will bring this to our prodcut design and development team to have further discussion.

 

Thanks
