[Bf-committers] Features I have added in tuhopuu2

Hi,

By design, clicking an Oops selects the Oops itself (and the object, if  
it is of that type), but not makes it active. For that you use  
CTRL+click which also redraws all buttons and draws the block with  
dashed outline.
Reason; just speed.... it was very annoying to work with oops with the  
UI needing a refresh all the time.

I would appreciate opinion from the UV team on this.

Matt also thought it to be useful. I don't mind adding it.

How is this invoked? And were you aware someone else was doing a lot of  
work on oops too? Now if I could remember who it was...
The Oops needs a lot of work still. I rather see some vision and  
structure for how oops is supposed to work. And especially someone  
devoted to implement & maintain all of that.

I hope you can separate the patches in individual diffs... just attach  
it gzipped to mail and send it to this list.
