Help improve the Selection Interface

Then how about this: selecting 1 segment gives the move tool automatic on all connected segments.
Selecting more segments and hitting 3 gives the move tool on the selected segments and all connected segments.

Is it possible to freeze a selection? i seem to have done it by accident a couple of times but not be able to replicate . Only time I zip into original advanced interface if I am doing a bit of gross structure freezing

Moving slabs which include cut points would be awesome

Not sure about having another row of buttons above the current row horizontally
We are working mostly in the letterbox shape and another row under the central score counter reduces the 'actual' window, especially if you are trying to see any other window to the left or right of foldit window, on a lower resolution. I have to resize the window to get to the right hand horizontal buttons at the moment.

Ideally the UX and UI designers at UW will come up with some new ways to layout the selection interface tools and dialogs, like script running, so that it works and degrades gracefully on lower res devices, this would be tested by players if possible.

When I want to rebuild the surrounding area of a cut point I have to rebuild at least 3 segments on each side of the cut. Could you change it that we need only 2 on each side or even 2/1?

No, you can't freeze a selection. What you may have done is frozen a secondary structure. If you double right click on a segment, it will freeze all adjacent segments of the same secondary structure. e.g. if you double right click on a segment that is part of a helix, the whole helix will be frozen.
