            Bug ID: 131758
           Summary: Consistent polygon tool behavior in Draw.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Draw
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: glogow at fbihome.de

In Draw, the tools "polygon" and "polygon, filled" act differently, not just in
the way of filling / not-filling the polygon (or polyline actually).

This resulted in confusion, as you can see in my answer in Ask:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/235837/impress-how-to-finish-a-polygon/

I've just reproduced it here for convenience:

There are two tools: "polygon" and "polygon, filled", to begin with. The
"polygon, filled" will always create a filled polygon in my tested version.
What is consistent for both tools is:

1. "Ctrl + Alt + click" finishes the current polygon / closes the polyline (and
potentially starts a new one).
2. a "double-click" anywhere finishes editing

But the behavior after the 1st and 2nd action of "polygon" has changed.
Multiple times. For the tested versions I got:

* 5.4.7: 1st will continue to draw a line from the last point (not the closing
point!) and 2nd will not fill the polygon
* 6.2.8: 1st will not continue the line and 2nd will fill the polygon
* 7.0.0: 1st will not continue the line and 2nd will not fill the polygon

If you don't "double-click" after "Ctrl + Alt + click", you can create a new
polyline or polygon, which will be grouped together when finished.

So here is my question: maybe there should be an extra "polyline" tool, so the
current "polygon" tool would always close on "double-click" too, like "polygon,
filled". That seems more consistent.
