Track outlining doesn't go away
« on: May 15, 2007, 10:14:26 PM »
I have version 3.05 Pro. When I select a track with the Profile tool then switch to most other tools, the track stays highlighted as if selected for profiling. Even if I disable or remove the track (GPX file), the highlighting remains. If I select the Draw Track tool, the highlighting will go away once I move the mouse cursor over the graphic (map) area. Otherwise I have to exit TF and restart to get rid of it. Am I missing something or is this a bug?

This is a bug, of sorts, and will be cleaned up in the next release.

The "better" way to profile is to just right click on a track when you are in pan mode.  It will still be highlighted, but the highlight is much less persistent.

The problem is that the profile tool is the merge tool as well, and when merging you want your track to stay around more, perhaps even if you disable files that are a part of it.  

We're going to two tools soon.  Thanks for the feedback.
