[cad-linux] Re: Any Intellicad progress updates?

Slightly more info:
- the wine version is the stripped opengl version from http://wine.dataparty.no/
- all osnaps off

The only obvious problem is the mouse pick often doesn't register (but only in 
the
graphics/drawing area .. it is perfectly fine elsewhere within the program).  
The
mouse pointer moves well (even in the graphics area).

I wonder if there is a keyboard button I can assign as a mouse pick to try that

If it weren't for this mouse pick problem, icad4 looks quite usable
