I personally make this error multiple times per session. I want to click and drag to select multiple objects, but I end up moving the entire frame, because I am zoomed in and cannot see that it’s selected. I have also renamed frames “t” or “v” or “n” trying to select a different tool and not realizing the board is selected. 

I don’t think I would want a more obvious visual indicator that a board is selected. I think a better solution is adding friction to cut down on accidental errors. If you made board selection a triple click (or 4?) for power users, and have a redundancy built int to the context menu, in addition to the current behavior of selecting the name of the frame, it could be a relatively inexpensive quality of life improvement for many users. 

I can’t edit the post for some reason - please substitute frame, wherever I use the term “board”.

Hey ​@Brent — totally hear you on this. That kind of friction (the unintentional kind!) can really interrupt the flow. Your idea of reducing frame selection sensitivity or requiring an intentional action like a triple-click is a clever approach.

Thank you again for helping make Miro better!

 

I’m on a mac and when zoomed in on a frame.. I don’t know when it’s selected or not,.. inevitably it is.. and I end up dragging the whole frame and not the items I intend to move.. so I zoom out and realise actually, all my frames have been renamed to n,b,v etc.. .. it happens so often.

I’m sure this never used to happen..

Maybe provide a preference setting, so you can only move a frame by clicking on the “name” area and not anywhere on the frame itself. 

Otherwise Miro is awesome! But this is really, really frustrating.

I don’t even bother to name my frames anymore. I just make a giant sticky next to them or in the top left corner.
