[OpenLayers-Users] Overriding map style causing major drift

[Christopher Dale]

Hey everyone,

I'm running into another problem with this way of setting the vector
layer's style. It looks like the editing handles are inheriting the
styles from the vector layer as well, which makes for some nasty
looking handles.

Anyone know of a way to directly target the vector features themselves
when setting the styles or else tell the editing toolbar layer not to
inherit the styles from the default style?

Here's an example of what I'm getting

Thanks everyone,
