Summary	0012330: Bad selection X,Y for thick lines
Description	When selecting a line, the selection coordinates are wrong AND on screen, it looks like there are 2 selection zones instead of only one. It seems easyer to understand whats wrong using a vertical line, but the issue is there too with oblique lines, and seemingly horizontal lines too. Problem has consequences in various circumstances (as noted by GregP on http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.scribus/44918 and following)
Steps To Reproduce	- Create short line with big thickness (uploaded examples have 20mm thickness) - Select it - See selection zone 1) there are 2 dotted shapes as if there were 2 selections for this single object 2) it does not follow the shape of the line.
Tags	No tags attached.
