Markup selection cycle popup

System

Great idea (it can be hard to select an object from crowded areas) but this has been really badly implemented unfortunately. The pop up crowds the area around the cursor and often obscures either the control point or the place where you want to drag the control point to.

See below where the control point is obscured by the pop up:

If you hold shift while moving a control point and you release it next to the pop up, the control point often isn't adjusted but does leave a black line behind which disappears once you press esc. This means you are limited in where you can adjust a control point. See the image below where the control point can no longer be adjusted.

Please please please give us the option to turn off features like this!

Hey @Andrew Shields,

I went ahead and split and moved your post for visibility. Thanks for providing screenshots!

You can turn off Selection Cycle in the Preferences menu. It's just a radio button you can toggle on/off.

I find the feature useless for my workflow, and it was easy to disable. That said, even if I did use it, the feature was pretty annoying how it covered the area where you were immediately working. Just a really bizarre feature with even more bizarre UI.

@bwiginton Thank you!!!

Yeah, it could be implemented a little better I suppose.

It's pretty easy to work around though. Zoom-in/out to adjust the placement of the pop-up in relation to your markup. You can hold shift while scrolling to zoom (even if you have to hold ctrl as well because you're in continuous mode).
