What type of issue is this?

Permanent – Ocurring repeatably

Is this issue blocking you from using Enso?

• Yes, I can't use Enso because of this issue.

Is this a regression?

• Yes, previous version of Enso did not have this issue.

What issue are you facing?

when selecting nodes with selection area it behaves inconsistent (you need to be closer to the node if you are selecting it from right side then from the left side) and sometimes you are selecting nodes that are far away accidentally (see screenshot)

Expected behaviour

I select node if rectangle is at least touching the node

How we can reproduce it?

It may be caused by the extended bounding box when visualization is visible.

Yep, it is caused by the bounding box of the visualization. I guess we should use different bounding boxes for selecting nodes and for calculating their layout on the scene.

Michael Mauderer reports a new STANDUP for today (2023-05-01):

Progress: Opened PR for #6371. Investigated how to fix the area selection capturing nodes when touching their visualizations and implemented the fix. It should be finished by 2023-05-01.

Next Day: Next day I will be working on the #5088 task. Implement spinner for visualization waiting on data.
