Hi all,

I am reworking the WX_OVERLAY stuff for OS X in eeschema to (hopefully) get rid off the annoying redraw artifacts.
Looks quite good now, but I stumbled over some different/inconsistent behaviors and I don’t know if these are due to my changes or it is everywhere the same.

Maybe some Linux/Windows users can give me feedback about that ones…

(1) eeschema: Move vs. Grab a part:
When I do a “move" the part is drawn normal (in color), when I do a “grab” the part and everything connected is drawn black.

(2a) eeschema: Block Move:
When doing a block move everything of the block is drawn in black, similar to “grab" from (1) but different to normal “move”.

(2b) eeschema: Block Move:
When doing a block move original content is still shown (in color), additionally I have the black instance following my mouse.

(3) Library Editor: Move:
If I “move” a pin then it is really moved, i.e. the original pin is removed, only the moving one following my mouse is visible (in normal color).
If I “move” a rectangle/text/… (anything else not being a pin?) then the original item is still there additionally to the moving one following my mouse. Looks/Feels more like a “copy” (which it isn’t… if you place it then the original item disappears).
Similar to (2b), but both instances (original/moving) are in normal color.

Maybe there are some more, those are the ones that I found quite easy just playing around a bit…


Thanks,
Bernhard
