Live distance display hidden

[pazure]

I've searched these forums for a similar report, but can't find any. Hopefully, I'm not recreating a report, but in this case, I think it carries across all OS's, not only Mac.

I'm running Mojave, and Photo 1.7.3.

The only time you can recreate this bug is with the right circumstances. When trying to move an object with the cursor key (up or down), it's nice to have the program display live measurements of the distance between that object and another boundary (shape, guide, photo edge, etc.). As you nudge the object up or down, the upper and lower (or left right) distance is shown briefly, and then disappears. The problem is, if the distance between objects is small enough, the live display is visible on the bottom, but on the top of the object, it is hidden by the small circle "node" that represents the rotate handle for the object. So I can't nudge the object, watch the measurements, and nudge until they equal each other since I can't see the upper measurement. In the right circumstance, 2 of the numbers remain behind the rotate knob. If the distance between the object being nudged, and the other boundary, were greater than the height of the rotate lever and knob, this problem wouldn't exist.

Since the user probably won't be nudging and rotating at the same time, it seems that it would make sense to make the rotate handle disappear for the brief amount of time the live measurement appears.

I hope I've made myself clear.

Hey pazure,

I see exactly what you mean! I will ask the developers to take a look at this for you—thank you
