Cursor Icon fails to change when mode is switched during REFINE

[drdancm]

When you are REFINING a selection and switch to Move (Palm Icon) by holding the Spacebar, the Selection Icon should return to indicate you are no longer in Move mode. But in fact it does not, although the change has taken place. If you press [ or  ] to change the size, while showing the non-current Palm icon (after you let up on the Spacebar, it will then correctly show the Selection Icon changing size.

It's not a huge major issue, because the Function Does Change, but more a matter of a bit of insufficient Beta testing perhaps. The first time you encounter the problem you worry, but once you realize
that other than the Icon Shift, it works OK you don't worry.

Hey drdancm,

This was logged last week. I've added your post to the bug report. Thank you very much.

Great, would you also add that when you change from add to subtract the icon does not change   to     -   , but perhaps that was also noted in the prior posting.

It's good to see that all of this issues are taken seriously.

Thanks,

Dan
