Pen tool oddity?

[Mickie]

I was flipping an arrow and came across a little oddity with the pen tool. Depending how you draw the line the arrowhead sometimes gets flipped horizontally also. I'm assuming it has something to do with the "curve" from dragging?

That is an oddity, Mickie. I can't say that has ever happened to me.

Weird effect, I had a go and like you said it only happens if you click and then drag.

I don't really use the pen tool. But if you then use the shape editor tool to move either one of the nodes you can see that effectively the line has completely curved back over itself and when the nodes are moved you can see the curve in the line.

When you look at the nodes, the arrowhead is attached to the line in the same place, it just doesn't flip.

No big thing...but strange.
