#4 Editor 2.1 : overlapping polygons

[Pierrick Brihaye]

I have a shapefile where polygons overlap. I can't
select them with a mouse click (but i still can do
using attributes view).

Would it be possible to have a behaviour that could
permit the underlying polygons selection ? This could
be done by selecting the smallest polygon within the
click's range or by displaying a dialog box...

p.b.

I have also seen this behavior. I am lucky in that most of
my shape files do not contain over laping shapes. The
algorythm that looks for shapes bails after finding the
first one to help with performance. A list of available
shapes could be created, and then some algorythm applied to
find the one in question. This would take more processing
time, but may be worth it.
