[Xastir] OSM Oddity

[Jerry Dunmire]

Thanks for the report. I kind of expected something like that, but my
first attempt to fix it with the binned levels didn't work so I
decided to postpone further work on fixing the boxed (area) zoom
function until the linear scaling is working. I really expect the zoom
to work just fine (with linear scaling) since that part of the appears
to have received special attention.

The OSM workaround for now is to draw boxes that have the same (or
nearly the same) aspect ratio as the display window and enclose more
than the needed area.

I drew a zoom box around both locations (narrow top to bottom, and just long enough to keep both locations). What I got was a map of the city that's in the middle, not entirely unexpected given the previously mentioned limitations. I zoomed out (clicked the out button) and it gave me what I initially wanted ... so perhaps a change to the code to look out a little on a box-draw zoom to see if there is something outward a little that will fit the provided info.
