I have a navigation toolbar with some common OL controls such as Navigation and ZoomBox on it.

I also have a SelectFeature control that isn't part of the navigation toolbar b/c it should be active all the time for vector features. Each layer that is added to the SelectFeature control using setLayers() has a handler registered to the 'featureselected' event.

However, in cases where I choose the ZoomBox control my ability to select vector features disappears. I have to refresh the layer to get it back. I can work with the Navigation control (in fact many other controls too) and still have my vectors responding to the select event.

Has anyone else experienced this or know a workaround?

You could add button for SelectFeature control into panel and deactivate ZoomBox control when SelectFeature control is active. Here is my little example.

    I agree. You're either selecting, panning, or zoomboxing but you cannot have them all active at once. I'm sure that's why OpenLayers deactivates the selectControl when you're panning.
