            Bug ID: 141518
           Summary: LibreOffice Draw "Curve -> Freeform Draw" tool
                    modifies the curve if it is too tight
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.7.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Draw
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: wcedmisten at gmail.com

Description:
When trying to draw tight curves, as are often found in signatures, the
Freeform Draw tool modifies the curve to be less tight, which completely
changes the signature.

My guess is that this is really a feature, but for my use case it is a bug. I
would appreciate a way to disable this curve modification, or modify the tool
to not modify tight curves.



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click the curve tool (pencil icon) which defaults to Freeform Line
2. Draw a cursive m or a cursive W, which both have tight curves.

Actual Results:
curves are modified slightly or sometimes exaggeratedly, e.g. when writing
cursive letters m or W

Expected Results:
curves remain as they were drawn in the Freeform Line tool


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
