0.83: Crop - why CTRL key?

[boicottms]

I joined the forum thinking that the cropping window handles (freeform) were not working: I couldn't move the window, nor move the handles, even if the cursor changed hovering the handles or the window. Then I discovered that using the CTRL key it worked. I don't see the need of a modifing hidden key to crop. Or, at least, the cursor should not change if the action is not taking place.
Thank you

Could you please ckeck the following setting is set:

Tools > Settings... > Interface -- Mouse tab -- Left button --> Make selection

I think that may configure XnView MP the way you would like...

Cropping works without a problem and without Ctrl key.

Closed. (Please post here if the problem should persist.)
