[Gvsig_english] Severe editing issue in GvSIG 1.1.2

[Benjamin Ducke]

Hello all,

unfortunately, the problem is slightly more complex than that and
affects editing when interacting with the CAD editor view to select
features.

The bugs and some work-arounds are documented on our gvSIG support
pages:

Best,

Ben
