Description
If I draw a region but later (when it's no longer the active region) decide I want to delete it, then go click on it, it also becomes a selection region because it's associated with a structure. Then when I hit the delete key I get a warning "cannot delete selection region" ... however when I clear selection the original region I really wanted to get rid of is still there.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
The problem was user error: trying to get the dashed outline to show actually made the selection region the active region rather than the region under it. When the dashed line is NOT shown (since the selection region is on top) the underneath region may be active and removable with the delete key. Confusing though.
