While moving, the xoring is working fine for any position other than the 
initial position. This is proof to me that xoring is working 
perfectly. What is not working is the transition from OR mode to XOR 
mode and this is a corner case that happens only at the beginning of the 
move operation. Only this logic is suspect, not the idea of xoring in 
general.


See what I have done at or near line 499 of getpart.cpp, also referenced 
by the change_log.txt. This logic works perfectly (on linux) for all 
but a wierd case that *depends on the zoom* level, and only when circles 
are involved.....

See change_log.txt for another change I made regarding onleftclick.cpp
