Description Gale Andrews 2011-05-18 23:02:53 UTC

Dragging multiple samples not possible (as intended) on Windows and Ubuntu when holding CTRL. Cmd should do the same on Mac.

Comment 1 Paul L 2016-06-22 18:17:56 UTC

Doesn't reproduce now.

Comment 2 Peter Sampson 2017-07-18 12:30:12 UTC

The steps to reproduce happen on W10 with Ctrl and on Mac with Cmd - (I believe this is the intended behavior - to move a single sample)

On Windows the Ctrl modifier and on Mac the Cmd modifier used before clicking to use the Draw tool - properly inhibit that redraw to the single sample and no neighbours - as intended

However multiple dragging can be achieved in both platforms when dragging with the Draw tool with no Ctrl modifier

And smoothing obtains properly on both platforms occurs with the brush - by using the Alt modifier.

AFAICT this functionality is working correctly on both platforms.

RESOLVED FIXED
Based on my own testing on Windows and Peter's on Mac.  The only platform difference concern would be the modifier key, so no need to test on Linux.
