+ pcb-rnd - the [cycdrag] patches
+
+A long standing misfeature of pcb (and pcb-rnd) has been that when dragging the
+end of connected traces, pcb chosen one of the traces "randomly". It often
+didn't pick the one the user wanted to move. The workaround was to move the
+one that pcb picked and then return and move the target trace then
+move the other trace back. This gets even more annoying if there are more than
+two objects connected in the given point: 3 traces and a via for example.
+
+The cycdrag patch addresses this issue by defining an action that can cycle
+through objects that could be dragged in the given point while the left mouse
+button is pressed. This lets the user explicitly select the one object to
+work on.
+
+This demo video
+demonstrates how it works with three lines and a via.
