[CA] [CA11] Lighthouse 3.x vs E classic questions

[lotharjt]

Hi there,

A few questions about how the Lighthouse 3.x software treats overlaying objects on the display. The basis of the questions is how an E classic display treats overlaying objects.

For an E classic display, imagine a situation where the COG vector, heading vector, wind vector and current vector are displayed. And now an AIS target of interest overlays any of the vectors. If the cursor is moved to highlight the AIS target, the plotter places a priority of popping a label box to denote the overlaying vector object, for example, the box “COG” appears for the COG vector. It is impossible to select the AIS target until the overlap no longer exists, rather annoying as the user knows what the vector is, what’s of interest is the AIS target and its detailed data.

Is this same behavior also true with the current Lighthouse 3.x software? If so, any suggestions about how to work around this behavior?
