Chromium/Google Chrome cursor displacement in Ajax viewer

[gabrimonfa]

Current version of Chromium/Google Chrome shows an annoying cursor displacementin Ajax Viewer.

In editing mode (with the cross cursor), the point received from the map is not in position (0.5,0.5), at the center of the cross, but instead at or near position (0,0), at left upper corner of the bounding box of the cross.

This way drawing in redline layers is a real pain since the points are always not in the intended position.

Hi, this is a Chromium/Chrome bug

​https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=145919 ​http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=12578

Since the bug does not appear for standard cursors, a possible workaround is to use plain crosshair cursor instead of beatiful .cur cursors whenever "tip" precision is required (IMHO in digitizing and in measure point precision is required).

For instance, this is how to have standard crosshair in digitizePoint and measure

function SetMapCursor(strCursor) in file: ajaxmappane.templ

• else
• {
• strCursor = "url('../stdicons/" + strCursor + ".cur'), pointer";
• }

+ else + { + ​https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=145919

+ if (chrome && (strCursor == "digitizePoint"

strCursor == "measure"))

+ strCursor = "crosshair"; + else + strCursor = "url('../stdicons/" + strCursor + ".cur'), pointer"; + }

Do you have this in an easy to apply patch form?

Formatting the code properly in WikiFormatting syntax

-     else 
-     { 
-         strCursor = "url('../stdicons/" + strCursor + ".cur'), pointer"; 
-     }

+     else 
+     { 
+         // https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=145919
+         if (chrome && (strCursor == "digitizePoint" strCursor == "measure")) 
+             strCursor = "crosshair"; 
+         else 
+             strCursor = "url('../stdicons/" + strCursor + ".cur'), pointer"; 
+     }

I will also attach a patch w.r.t. current trunk
