This is sporadic; I haven't been able to determine what conditions cause it. But it occurs pretty often and is pretty annoying. Choose any tool with following, and hover over the edge of an existing object, so that the "Click to Start Following..." tool tip pops up. Click, and nothing happens. This ...

When multiple objects of the same type are on top of each other, and the user chooses the same drawing tool with the Add or Subtract mode, the tooltip refers to the bottom object, instead of the top. When actually using the tool, it operates on the top object - which I would assume is the correct be...

I guess "Select by Type" over the minimap isn't what you're looking for?

Select by Type isn't nearly fine-grained enough for what I'm thinking. Plus it can only select objects on a single landmass (which might be a separate issue entirely).

On a big, complex map with lots of things, I wonder if some sort of search function might be useful. As in, find the object with this name, or find a Feature with this image. I'm sure there's some use case for a search function on its own, but I'm actually more interested in it because I think it co...

This had been bugging me in 1.03, but I never got around to reporting it. It seems better in 1.04, but I'm not sure it's 100% fixed, or if it's just less noticeable. Or maybe I've just gotten lucky so far and haven't seen it bad yet in 1.04. So while I'm posting about a few other things I figured I'...

OWM 1.04 on Windows (though I noticed it on 1.03 as well). This is pretty simple to recreate: Draw a Landmass. Select the Landmass and uncheck the Outline check box. Draw a Region anywhere on the Landmass. (This also seems to work with any tool that has points, e.g. border, line, water, etc.) Select...

After experimenting a bit more, I'll refine my bug report: If you edit the field and include a % symbol (or keep the one already there), the field resets to the previous value on TAB, ENTER, or OK. If you just type a number without the %, it accepts the typed value. BTW, using OWM 1.0.2 on Windows 10.

With the Transform tool chosen and an object selected, it is possible to move that object using the arrow keys. But if you move the object off of its parent, the object disappears from the Layers pane (but not from the map). You can't use the arrow keys or mouse to move the object any further. From ...

The Zoom To... menu item (under View) only accepts the presets and the spinner buttons. Typed inputs reset to the current zoom level. Also, clicking Okay causes the map to pan a bit, even without changing the zoom level.

If you press ESC while editing a label's text, your changes to the label text are not saved (good!), but the label vanishes from view. It still appears in the Layers window, and you can still select it via the Layers window or in the map itself. If you choose the label tool and then click on the (in...
