Hi John,

I apologize for duplicating your effort, I should have checked your
patches first. Your patch goes a little bit further than what I did, and
also implements simple dragging for tracks and modules. I applied your
patch for testing, but I had some issues with ratsnest. I still consider
it as a good starting point. I will have a look how it can be merged
with the current code. Thank you!

Regards,
Orson
