Description

When selecting a isometric map in the world view, the selection box is orthogonal which makes it impractical to place maps next to each other : the bounding box of one map will go over another one. It makes it tricky to select the right map. I end up spacing out the maps far from each other which significantly reduces the usefulness of the world view.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the world view with adjacent isometric maps, then trace the world-view selection-box handling. The change is complete when an isometric map receives an isometric selection box that allows nearby maps to be selected independently without excessive spacing.
