Cannot move a Canvas

[lure23]

There's something weird with imported images. 

Route A

1. Use 'Image > Attached Canvas' to bring in a picture

2. Right click the picture, select 'Move'

 

Expected:

The move controls should be enabled, allowing the image to be moved and scaled.

Actual:

A 'move dialog remains on the screen but nothing else.

 

Notice that one cannot select the canvas from the Browser, either (as the 'Selection' that is asked for).

Press Cancel.

Route B

Now, right click on the Browser at the particular Canvas. Select 'Move'.

 

The canvas can be moved.

 

Why shouldn't the same work right-clicking the canvas itself?

Why don't the move controls allow for scaling of the canvas? Could be because I've calibrated it? Nope - the same happens also for just imported images. One can zoom them only during the import. Why?

My selection filters had everything enabled, including 'Canvas'.

Look At doesn't work with Canvas - why?

'Look At' feature (either from the Zoom/Pan minibar or by right clicking i.e. a sketch) is a handy feature to get a right angled view of a plane.

Why aren't they available for canvases? (i.e. no right click entry in the Browser)

Version: 1.8.604

btw, you should add 'Browser' and maybe also version numbers to the Idea Labels. How are we differentiating versions now that we get 'Sep' and 'Dec' releases?

Addendum

Doing more tests, I noticed this:

I had imported a new image to the right (the little speck), ended the import.

Then zoomed to see the image, and took 'move', right-clicking in the browser. 

No move controls anywhere.

Until I zoom out and find them at the origin? What the hell?
