Tutorial step 5: cannot remove points
Closed, WontfixPublic

Description

In the tutorial it reads:

In order to add a point the shift key has to be pressed while left clicking in a render window. You can also move points or remove them (left click while pressing ALT).

while adding point works, the removal of points using alt + click doesn't

Event Timeline

Apparently this is a bug caused by Linux: if alt is pressed, Linux thinks the clicks following will be related to windows resizing.

Suggested workaround:

  1. add a new transition in the interaction which allows deleting points with ctrl + left mouse click.
  2. Leave alt + left mouse click interaction in place also.
  3. Change tutorial to state that a point can be deleted with ctrl + left mouse click.

User wirkert has pushed new remote branch:

bug-18937-fix_removing_points

Pushed branch which adds ctrl + leftclick behavior to delete points. Adapted documentation for tutorial step 5 as well.

Core change request:

Proposed solution:

  1. Add a second interaction to delete point. Now ctrl + left click AND alt + left click remove points from a pointset.

Please try to add this to some workbench checklist for testing.

Addendum to Core Change Request:

Point X: How is this change tested?
The PointSet test list will be extended so that the new interaction is tested.
