1.16.1.4 has a new feature in the spirit of the recent ballot layout craziness. Ian is going to love this one.
If you hold down the control key when dragging races and headers around the card editor, GEMS will no longer prevent you from dragging them into and outside of the timing mark areas. It behaves as previously without the control key pressed. If you think this is nuts, no one in devel disagrees with you. Just don't hold down the control key.
Why do this? A few reasons:

- Now that race lines can be turned off individually, races/headers might have some of their area completely devoid of artwork . This means you can safely drag the blank part "under" the timing marks. Puerto Rico may use this to center their ovals.
- This is an answer to Greg's RCRs to put "this side up" arrows, instructions to print shops, and the Declaration of Independence out in the cut mark area. Just make headers and ctrl-drag 'em there.
- Its consistent with allowing users to overlap races. If we allow them to overlap ovals, we might as well allow them to mess with other verboten areas.

Caveat emptor.
Ken
