Resizing of elements inconsistent and weird

[orbitfold]

The "hitbox" for resizing class objects on a patch is placed in a weird spot. It makes it very finnicky to resize elements. Also I think that it doesn't always register even if you hover on the right spot. Connected to this, when creating an atomic number and trying to connect it to an inlet I 50% or so of the time get the resizing behavior instead. Maybe the little spheres and symbolize inlets/outlets should visually change (e.g. enlarge) when being hovered on in a way that makes drawing a cable possible.

Hi,
Yes the resizing of a box is done on the lower right edge. You can still use the shortcut: by selecting the box and ctrl+shift+arrows (you can see all the shortcuts by hitting the h key in a patch).
There are also shortcut s for auto connecting boxes, without the trouble to click and drag. Just alt+click a box (or an output) and the select the target box and click 1. This will connect to the first input of the box. 2, 3 etc. will be the other inputs. I have a video presentation for this. Will try to find it and post it somewhere here.

And yes indeed, the idea to visually change (enlarge) the inputs when swept over is a good thing. I will see if this is possible without big trouble.

"Yes the resizing of a box is done on the lower right edge."

I think the resize action box should have it's center on the lower right corner of the object being resized. Whereas now it seems that the resize activation box is placed so that it's upper right corner coincides with the lower right corner of the object. Don't know if that makes sense or if changing that is easy/possible.
