Selecting a specific element is sometimes frustrating. What I'd like to be able to do is to click any object near the object I want and then press tab to cycle through them until I get to the one I want. Also, when I click to drag with an element already selected, Astah shouldn't try to "reselect" a new element.

Thank you for your post, cwm9.

If this isn't what you are referring to, please let me know.

No, I mean if you click to select object A without dragging to make sure you have selected the right item, then try to drag drag A from point 1 to point 2, if you happen to click near another object B during this click and drag operation, Asta will unselect object A and select object B before starting the drag. If a click and drag operation occurs, Asta should NOT unselect A and select B, but drag A. B should only be selected if you click and then unclick without dragging.

Hi, thank you for your additional explanation which helped me understand this behavior. We'll get this to dev team to check up.

Thank you.
