5Beta difficulty? Handles don't work when Zoom=0 ?

[goddi]

I mentioned a problem I had with 5Beta in another topic but I think it got buried in with other responses. Since it did not get any response, I would like to bring it up again to see if it really is a problem or not.

What happened is that I entered "0" into the Zoom entry windows to see what would happen. The image shrunk to a small green retangle as expected. Normally you can grab on the handles of the image and resize it. However, I could not 'retrieve' the image. I could not grab any of the 'handles' around the little green rectangle that represents what is left of the image. The only way I could get the image back to visible size is to type in a Zoom value >0 or some number into the Zoom setting windows. It took me a while to figure this out.

You can select such objects with 0 value of Zoom usign Objects Tree (right-bottom part of the window in Visual editor)

Igor... Yes, I understand that you can select object. But even if it is 'selected', I can not grab the handles of the object and resize it as you might expect. I have to go into the Zoom windows and enter a value >0. When I did initially enter a "0" in the Zoom windows, an error message popped up..."Complanar Vectors in Basis....".

In beta #2 we fixed problem with "Complonar vector" message.

It's impossible (technically) to resize zero size object.

Oooppsss, I thought I had installed the Beta#2. I just installed it and, yes, did not get the error message. I agree and now understand that, technically, one can not resize an object Zoomed to zero. I just thought that might get someone into scratching their heads a bit wondering what happened, if they, like me, just accidentally entered "0". Maybe, the "Image" in the Object window could turn red, or something, as a warning, when it is Zoomed to "0"....?

Just a thought... Gary
