Hi, have you tried alt-dragging?

Cheers, KJ

Hi,

Inkscape is really a great piece of software.

There's a "feature" that is quite irritating though. When I select an object, if it happens that there are other objects above or below, if I click & drag to move the selected object, then sometimes another object is selected and dragged (and sometimes not)...

That's really annoying... Is there a way to force inkscape to understand that the object I want to move is the object that is currently selected and not anything else?

Thanks a lot for any help!

Fabrice

That's what Alt+drag is for. Study http://inkscape.org/doc/keys046.html#id2248089
