Changes (by ScottWallace):

  * milestone:  Update.2 (8.2.0) => Future Release


Comment:

 Worked around in etoys3.0 update 2036occlusionsProb-sw, whose preamble
 reads:

 In view of the various ways that the the avoid-occlusions feature seems
 now to be broken (probably for many years), the most prudent thing to do
 would seem to be to remove the ability to turn this feature on from the
 UI.  So that is what this update does.

 In some future release, someone may wish to revisit this issue:  re-enable
 the menu item, reproduce the issues, fix them...  But for now, we cut the
 Gordian knot..
