Shifting using the mouse w/ Edit Control (Resolved for 8.1

I’ve made a couple of changes to make things look a little better.

1) The values are the amount of translation along the ‘edit direction’. That’s going to depend on what edit coordinate mode you are in when you applied the operation.
2) They are based on the coordinate mode you were in when you applied the operation, and need to be fixed to that mode or they can’t be reapplied.
3) Yes, X is ignored if X was constrained when the operation was applied.
4) I hope I have this fixed now. I can’t say for certain.
5) This is a side-effect of the new undo/redo. I asked if anyone had objections to this and noboday say ‘yes, I have objections’. But, having said that, I’d really like to have some way to undo manual operation parameter changes.

I changed it, so constrained values are set to 0 and can’t be changed by the user (I did something similar for the scale operation also.

I really need some sort of indicators to say in what way an operation was applied. That would help to understand the various parameters.

It works well but what are the coordinates in the shape layers? Why is X value not zero?
I tried the same operation but with object coordinates.

(incidentally, I came across a bug: sometimes when deleting the shifted cube, an object remains:

It works well but what are the coordinates in the shape layers? World coordinates values?

Anyway it is not consistent with the test using world coordinates.
Also, when zeroing the X value nothing changes and the undo is not possible anymore.

To sum it up (btw the behavior, apart from the deletion problem, may not be new to 8.x version):
1) What are the Shift X, Y, Z values?
2) They donG��t look consistent when changing coordinates system (I believe they could be world coordinates values but it means that in my first test X should be 0)
3) Changing the X value with a non zero value, doesnG��t change anything (whereas, in my example, updating Y or Z changes the shape as expected)
4) Sometimes, when deleting a shifted object, an object remains
5) After changing X, Y or Z in the shape layers, undo is not possible anymore

I think I have found the cause. I’m not sure I can get this 100% nice-looking. The constrain is stored with the operation which means any change to x will be ignored. I don’t have a good solution to this one.
