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

[Andreas Hocevar]

I think that this is awesome! I haven't looked at the code, but I'd say if it doesn't change any API behavior we rely on currently (like when the sketch layer is added, when events are fired), this would be a great addition to trunk, and should not live a poor life in an addin.

Thanks!
Andreas.
