Hi there - can you give me any more info here, please?
I tried the measure tool on a few different systems and did find some problems, but I'd like to know whether I'm barking up the same tree. I found:
on all systems, at some zoom levels, when you drag out a box using the measure tool, the left edge of the box (or whichever edge you started at) wanders leftwards across the screen as you drag the right edge instead of staying fixed. This is a side-effect of the work I did on supporting additional zoom levels for v3.2, and I have a fix in the repo now.
on one system (a Linux machine) the crosshairs that are supposed to appear when you wave the measure tool over a spectrogram layer without any mouse button pressed, showing the frequency readouts as you move the mouse, did not appear at all. On the other systems (another Linux one, a Mac, and a 64-bit Windows one) they appeared fine. On the system that isn't working properly here, there also seems to be a problem updating the mouse cursor - it is always shown as an arrow no matter which tool is selected. I am suspecting a funny interaction between something in the specific Qt library and the X server, but I'm not sure yet what it could be.
Would appreciate any more information about what sort of problem it is that you're seeing.
Thanks!
