Selection in the Sequence View components

Selection of a sequence region is synchronized between different Sequence View components.

In the Sequence Overview the selection is displayed as a blue line:

     <br>
</center>

In the Zoom View a blue line with coordinates and the length of the selected region is shown:

<center>
     <br>
     <img src="/wiki/download/attachments/20880218/Selecting Sequence Region_1.png"/>
     <br>
</center>

In the Details View a rectangle with a dashed border is shown around the selected region:

     <br>
</center>

Finally, when one selects an annotation in the Annotations Editor, the corresponding region is also selected in the other components and visa versa.
