[OpenMap Users] FindClosest problem?

Hi all,

Reading the docs, I thought that OMGraphicList.FindClosest(x, y, limit)
returned the closest graphic from a given point. A closer look into the
sources shows that the actual distance is computed in
BasicGeometry.distanceToEdge. There, one starts with the following test :

if (shape.contains(x,y)) ....

In other words, a valid distance is only returned when (x,y) are on an
existant object, and not when (x,y) are within a given limit distance.

Is this a bug or did I misunderstood the functionality?
