Description of the solution:

  • Empty cells are treated as cells with boxes (0,0;0,0)
  • Ghost cells are treated as hidden cells

The effect is that ghost and empty cells are now visible and can be edited. As they are point-like, selecting them is most conveniently done by dragging a selection box.

Empty cells are also considered for the bounding boxes in the drawing context, so the cell boxes include empty cells now as well and "zoom fit" will also take them into account as point-like, origin-centered cells.

The solution consists of a second path to bounding boxes of
cells - namely "bbox_with_empty". This bounding box is a
(0,0;0,0)-box if the cell is empty. Correspondingly, empty
and ghost cells are displayed as single points. Ghost cells
also behave like hidden cells now.
* Fixed instance marker when the cell is made from empty ones only
* 'fit' will include empty instances
