Using Mac OS on SKetchCloud team setup.
Issue: The new Athens version has made selecting multiple objects very frustrating. It used to be easy but now it’s a major usability issue.
Cause: the hover zone has increased in size to change the selection cursor to either resize or rotate. Also it is on by default and it interferes with basic selection of objects.
Background: Prior to Athens, the select cursor ruled - and if you had to rotate an object you could simply press the Option key while clicking a handle to switch to a rotate cursor. Great feature!
Now with Athens, if objects are close to each other and you need to select both, the cursor auto switches to rotate after the first selection click and it takes multiple clicks to select both using various techniques. I estimate I am using 100s of needless clicking every day because of this frustrating usability issue. Not good!
Recommendation: Either put it back the way it was and educate users about the key+click rotation - or make the hover zone for cursor change much, much, much, MUCH smaller.
This is my number 1 issue right now.
Number 2 is that sometimes copying and pasting objects from one artboard to another in the exact same position just doesn’t work. I’ve encountered weird cases that defy explanation. Even pasting from one frame into another frame. I will try to capture the next odd case that comes up and post it here.
Thanks!
