Unexpected behaviour, or just a plain bug ...

Hi Michael

When the cursor shows a + it indicates you are close to the start point and if you add your line to the start point you will have a closed shape.

I have never had the entire line disappear. I wonder if you switched to the Selector Tool and then tried to delete a point?

That's the expected behaviour, yes. That's just what I wrote....

There's the catch; there's no line at all!!!

Hmm? Strange.

Michael, what Line Width and Fill Colour are you using?
i have tried a number of configurations and i don't get the crash out.

You could try Run as administrator the once.

Independent of attributes used.

It should make no difference if ran with admin rights. But, just in case, I followed your suggestion. Alas, still the some behaviour.

Oh, and for your idea; on different machines with different hardware ...

I'm intrigued as to why the bitmap has handles showing whilst you are freehand drawing...?

The background image has inadvertently been selected - easy to do and I can replicate the issue by doing so. You can temporarily lock the image and then you definitely cannot select it. Unlock afterwards as necessary.
