Selection trouble with geometric bounding box on zero width objects
Hello everybody,
I encounter some problems when using the geometric bounding box option and trying to select perfectly vertical or horizontal paths. The issue seems generic enough but I find it surprising that nobody else experienced this problem since the geometric bounding box option appeared quite some time ago now. Some details are available in a bug report: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? func=detail&aid=1728776&group_id=93438&atid=604306
Am I the only one seeing this?
Cheers,

Sure. Long ago all our bboxes were geometric - there was no "visual bbox" option. And it was a problem back then, so most likely it's still a problem now that we reintroduced geometric bboxes. We need to do something inventive to make it possible to work with bboxes where one of the dimensions is zero.

Just to go a little further: this is a problem for paths only, I can safely put the width of a rectangle to 0 and it is still selectable and movable. I guess this is because, in practice, the width is never zero but some very small number (as seen in the xml editor). [BTW If I effectively set it to zero in the xml editor the rectangle is still selectable but its position is reset when I move it, because of the multiplication by zero in the transformation matrix I suppose]. Would setting the bounding box width/height minimum to a very small number for paths work?
