[OpenLayers-Dev] Re: "allow pan while drawing" patch

[Xavier Mamano (jorix)]

Hi,

Oh! good! This is a much needed initiative.

I found an error in sandbox, using measure.html, distance measure does not
work: Handler/Path.js (line 163, this.point is null) I tried after r11030.
The other examples work correctly.

With the tests I've also lost points (as Alexandre Dubé) Using a slow PC
when
pan the map also the last point moves and distorts the drawing enough until
the
map reaches the mouse position, is a strange effect.
