[Qgis-developer] Minor Irritations

[Jeremy Palmer]

Ok I have attached a patch to implement here:

https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/attachment/ticket/2938/select_tools_update.diff

Sorry for the delay, I have not been near an internet connection for the past 24 hours - shock horror!

I hope it's not too late to get this committed. If the new tool tip strings are a problem, a dev should at least try to commit the changed functionality so we don't have to change things for 1.7.

Cheers,
Jeremy

+1 from me of course ;)

+1

This is exactly how it worked before, so old qgis users won't be surprised.
And using Shift for the contains select we just change as less as possible.

Let's go vote! Time is short.
