#97 Geom.lineContainsPoint

[Anonymous]

The implementation of Geom.lineContainsPoint(...) in
release 6.0 beta 1 appears to contain a bug.

The error manifests itself when trying to select an
instance of PolyLineFigure with a SelectionTool in
cases where a line segment that makes up the
PolyLineFigure is neither horizontal nor vertical.

If the following statement that computes the slope of
the line segment

a = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2);

is replaced with

a = (double) (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2);

the problem appears to be fixed.
