Re: [udig-devel] Editing question - selecting overlapping polygons

[Jesse Eichar <jeichar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rather you select the first polygon returned by the feature reader...  
An excellent point here.  I have no idea how this should be handled but 
am open to suggestions... 

Ideas:

1.  Tab between the two?
2.  Second click will select the second?
3.  Other idea?
