But yup - a complex path of different parts (line, curve, arc) can not be constructed in Draw AFAIK, but maybe it's just a hidden feature Armin knows about. It can be done in code, as you can see in the AddPolygonToPath in vcl/qt5/Qt5Graphics_GDI.cxx. Not sure about the arc segment; maybe it's represented as a "fixed" Bézier curve internally. > Problems in the UI: > 1) Using Alt-Click to start a next sequence of points always inserts a > 'closepath' command.

Yup - you need the alternative for "Alt + left-click", as this is the common action to move a window in Linux (Unix?) window managers. In that case you don't need to select the title bar of a window, but can directly start moving the window from the current mouse position.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
