I agree with Jens.  The old behavior is very annoying and has bitten me many times.

My 2 cents!
 
I completely agree with you that interface changes should normally
avoided. On the other hand, this here was a special case for me:
I've been using fdesign for more than 15 years and I never gott
used to the left double click deleting/cutting an object. Instead
I have innumerable times more or less loudly cursed when I again
removed an object that I just wanted to select. And I have never,
ever seen any other program that would assign the select function
to a single click and deleting/cutting to the double click, it's
simply to easy to make a mistake. That's why I considered exchan-
ging it with the function assigned to the right mouse button a
good idea in this very special case. And I am, of course, pre-
pared to go back to the old way if there are only a few people
that don't like it (in that case I probably would introduce an
extra command line flag that allows me to exchange them;-)
 
                            Best regards, Jens

I must agree with Jens in this case. This has not always been the case . lol..

I only have 12 years of working with this interface but I have always found the old behaviour some where between annoying to infuriating.
 
It's also true that changes to a well know interface are not always desirable but in this case I believe it is simply correcting behaviour that never should have existed to begin with..

I will gladly aquaint  myself with the new interface. Just a though...
