Hi gEDA users,

I am working on the subcircuit upgrade. Since subcircuits can be moved and 
can contain text, I felt it was a good time to fix a long standing UI 
inconvenience.

When text is grabbed for a move, it is indicated with a bounding box 
instead of the readable outline of the text.

This is unlike other objects (line, arcs, polygons, vias) which have 
proper outline drawing. The new code, available in svn, draws the 
outline of the text, using the font the text uses:

This has been tested with lines, arcs and polygons in font and multiple 
fonts on the same design - all work properly.

Thanks to bendikss for recording the videos.

Regards,

Igor2
