Bug: layer does not change without motion

Simple bug with easy, obvious, work-around. In order to change the layer of some entity, select the entity, select the new layer, use 'mv' with reference 0 and target @0,0, and click 'use current layer/attributes'. The bug is that mv does nothing if the target is @0,0, even if 'use current layer' is...

To select whole obje...

I've written a lot of C/C++ in my life, worked on software docs professionally, but not lately. I haven't yet contributed much to open source. I've been a huge fan of Debian ...

[solved] Operate on entire object (e.g. Rectangle)
