#1233 Selection lost or takes longer than normally

[Ali Akcaagac]

I would like to address following issue with Freemind 1.1.0 (Beta)

Problem: Selection lost or takes longer than normally

1. Load a MindMap (say more than 50 elements)
2. Press "ESC" to center the MindMap to the root node
3. Press "CTRL+A" to select all nodes (most likely repeat this step, because more nodes got expanded but not selected).
4. Select "Bubbles" from the format Menu (to have the nodes show in bubbles)
5. Press "ESC" to center the MindMap to the root node
6. Press "CTRL+A" to select all nodes
7. Select "Free Position" (or Forget Position) from the Menu (to forget about the positions of the nodes)
8. Select "Sort Nodes" to sort the nodes

Now this is how I usually do it. I usually press ESC to go back to the root node. But if I forget pressing "ESC" and continue by pressing "CTRL+A", then selecting all nodes takes a huge amount longer to get selected (because I believe Freemind forgets where it has been) than pressing "ESC" after every step. From my feeling pressing "ESC" resets (or sets) the root node again which makes further processing faster.

Steps between 3 and 4 (unfold all nodes)
Step after 8. fold all nodes
