Thank you very much for your answer.<br>Yes, I tried. I even set
it to 0. It does not change anything. The problem is that selection is done on
the base of the Bounding Box of a Line. In some cases if user clicks near one
line then another (longer) line located far from mouse click is selected. It is due to fact that mouse click is inside of the BBox of the longer
line and not inside of the line that is closer to the click point. I desperately
trying to figure out how to disable BBox based selection. I don’t know why it
is default behaviour, it is so confusing. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman";" lang="EN-GB">Probably </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman";" lang="EN-GB">the reason is that BBox based
selection is faster. But why there is no easy way to change this default behaviour?</span><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/2/10 Charles Galpin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cgalpin@lhsw.com" target="_blank">cgalpin@lhsw.com</a>></span><div>

But if one is clicking between several rivers then selection becomes very confusing. In some cases rivers that are located much farer from mouse click then others are selected<br>
