Create a box
Add a dozen or so thrusters on it
Select the whole thing
Go to selection>
Do'h! The thrusters are missing!

Same goes for lineEndPoints.

I can't select the springs in a proper way now, as it consists now of three parts, and the "selection" tab only selects the middle part, not the connections annoying...

[Someone Else]

Yes, I noticed that, too.

The end of the spring in 1.9.4 is called a LineEndPoint.

These things, I suggest, should be changed:

• When you select a spring (the middle part, the actual spring), it should select both related lineEldPoints.
• The lineEndPoints should occupy the same zDepth as the spring.
• However, it should appear that the lineEndPoints occupy the zDepth of one above the spring.
• Thus, you cannot have the spring shown on top of the lineEndPoints, and when one part of the spring is behind something, all other parts are behind that something.
• The title of the menus for a lineEndPoint should say, for example, Appearance menu for a Line End Point.
• The Selection>Select menu including all parts of a spring should say the following:
  
  Select...
  
  • Springs
  • Line End Points
  • Springs Without Line End Points

Hmm... in my planned Tutorial Fix translation, I could probably fix the menu title thing.

Oh, good find. Some of those suggestions was planned, but somehow forgotten.
However, I don't see the point of select.. Line Endpoints and selecting spring without its end points.

This will be solved in the next version.

This has been fixed in the next version,
however you can only select springs, which selects both the springs and the end points.
