[Experimental] Non-straight railway tracks no longer have a delete tool hitbox

Fixed Tools & Construction Trains

Description:
(After updating to the experimental branch) I'm no longer able to delete individual railway track pieces with the deletion tool, unless they are the straight 'small bit' pieces.
The only way to remove the curved pieces is to drag a selection square over them.

Expected behavior:
The ability to click any part of track with the deletion tool, to then activate the functionality of determining entire stretches of track to be deleted.

Note:
Might be related to the hitbox refactoring changes mentioned in the experimental devnotes?

Reproduction Steps:

  1. Load attached savegame
  2. Try to delete any non-straight railway track

Version:
b553

(Since the cursor apparently isn't rendered on the screenshots: First screenshot has active delete tool hovering over the curved pieces (= no interaction). Second screenshot has it hovering over a small track piece (= highlight as expected), third screenshot shows behavior during dragged selection box.)

To verify the source of the issue, I've also switched my version back to the non-experimental public. Deletion tool on curved tracks works as expected there.

I'm on the current experimental build v0.8.2b (b553) and I'm currently reworking some train tracks. I can no longer select ANY curved tracks at all. Clicking on them just doesn't do anything. If they are a continues segment with at least 1 piece of straight track, I can click on that and the curve is included in the selection as normal.

Forwarded message

I can still use selection-based tools on them (like cut/copy/pause/...) if I drag a rectangle above them, but I can't cut any curved pieces by holding the cursor over a curved piece and pressing the shortcut button for cut.

Forwarded message

The problem with that is that I also can't use the track-tools on these segments. So I can't modify the track direction or non-stop sections.

Apologies, forgot that category existed. Do you want me to reopen a new thread there, or can this one be moved?

Don't worry, should be fixed in the next patch
