When I try to move an object in logic example with the > and . keys I
only get the resize modes (one per each side and corner of the object)
but dont get the "move" mode. This happens when the object's
height/width is under certain minimum threshold. Is this a known problem ?

Thank you,

Peter.

Move works in the logic example. First press of PERIOD key should stop at
the MOVE handle and display 4-way cursor.

Randy, try the following.

1. Create an empty logic diagram
2. Add a flow container object
3. Set the height of the object to 10 pixels
4. Use the period key to iterate handles. There is no move handle.

Thanks,
Peter.

The move handle is there and the selection tool stops at the handle, but it
is obscured by the top-right handle.

Maybe it's me, but I am not able to move the object using keyboard under
the described condition.

Neither can I. The accessible location for the move handle is too close to
the NW resize handle figure. The Z-order of the handles means that the
resize handle is on top of the move handle.

One workaround would be to change the way getAccessibleLocation is
implemented to search for open space among the other handles. The best
solution might be to enhance the accessibility to support to actually return
not just a location, but the actualy Handle for that location. Then, the
mouseMove would be ignored, and since the handle is already known.
calculateCursor would have to be hacked too.

Open a bug with any suggestions as to how to fix.
