Dear Members & Developers,

I experienced strange PCB behaviour when using mouse to drag a component or even when trying to select it.
I have a board with some long wire "bridges" that are added as a components to design. When these bridges are horizontal or vertical only drag and select works as expected. However when some of them are rotated (by free rotate buff function) it becomes very hard to select or move right one. I've tried to find some "key" how pcb selects rotated components but no luck yet. Then I've created a test board with lot of such bridges just for testing - to select a right one I had to make a lot attempts, clicking various places (a bit like a blind guess). At the same time when I click on the empty are of the board (for example to make a selection box) often a bridge is selected (far from cursor) and moved.

If anyone is interested and want to check that, then I can send a board with such rotated components. I am using Peters Clifton's opengl branch of pcb, and I have also check normal release (pcb-20110918) - exactly the same results. 

Very best Regards,
Michael Widlok
