Hi Eric, thanks for your efforts. My only concern is that adding vertices on mouseup instead of mousedown negatively affects the user experience when a Snapping control is used. This is because the user doesn't see any more where the vertex is going to be snapped to.
At this point, I have no idea how to solve this. Andreas. On Jan 12, 2011, at 13:05 , Eric Lemoine wrote: > Hello > > Currently the map cannot be panned when a draw feature control is > active.
