Feature Request. Make the priority of the object over which the mouse cursor is currently above higher than the selected object (lp:#1827242)
Original report created by Anton (antonpupkov)
I am now spreading the PCB and encounter such inconvenience. Found two
confusing features. For example, deleting is simple by hovering the mouse
button on a component / footprint and pressing delete button, the second is
selecting an object and deleting it with the delete key. So it turns out
that I, for example, just selected via, edited its parameters. And I need
to delete some track segment on the other end of the circuit board. I move
the mouse cursor over the track segment and press delete and oops - via
deletes. The problem is that I often notice that you can quietly remove
something in this way.
I think this will help:
1. Make the priority of the object over which the mouse cursor is currently
above higher than the selected object (leave the selection itself).
2. Or apply action ONLY on an object when mouse cursor under it. If object
is selected, and it a part of selected group - action makes with whole
selected group objects.
If you want to perform an action on selected objects, then the mouse must
be directed at one of them.
