Fixed issue #2201 (trace path)

* you can zoom in now to select the end point. Problem was
  actually that zooming in was a problem when the start point
  went out of the viewport

In addition:
* Messages are sticky now ("Click on second point")
* "Esc" will cancel path trace mode
* The cursor switches back to normal after tracing
