[OpenLayers-Users] Selecting a feature - does not always work

[Pierre GIRAUD]

Looking at your problem, I just remembered having a similar problem.
In my example, the returned feature  argument did never change. It was
always the first clicked one.

Hum, you are using OpenLayers 2.4 !
This was fixed in the 2.5 version. Take a look at :

Pierre
