I was looking at a bug regarding selecting a reference of a footprint which is rotated 45º.  Since our hit-testing relies entirely on rectangles, you can imagine that this doesn’t work very well for an elongated shape.

We could change hit-testing to polygons so we can rotate them.  If we were to do that would we run in to performance issues?
