Subject:	[geda-user] RFC: storing cursor position in PCB files
Reply-To:	geda-user AT delorie DOT com

Recently I get repeatedly unneccessary(?) merge/cherry-pick conflicts 
with line 9 of .pcb files. This line typically reads something like

Cursor[7500 30000 6.000000]  (latest release) or
Cursor[625.00mil 25.00mil 6.000000]  (current git master)

Apparently, the last position of the cursor is stored here, which is 
pretty much arbitrary, so it changes on every save.

Now I can't imagine how a stored cursor position might be useful for 
anything. When viewing the file it's overridden as soon as the mouse 
enters the viewing area. If there's no use, I'd like to remove that 
entry to reduce the conflict potential.


Thanks,
Markus
