A seemingly random occurrence. I just delete the zz line and start it anew when that happens. Half joking... The other problem is that when I save a lot it doesn't happen, so it is hard to troubleshoot. Is there a significant change in the UNDO system or something when a save is initiated that might prevent freeze ups? Maybe this is a secret training program to get me to regularly save? > HTH, > Hans > > [1] > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/**Posting_style#Top-posting<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Top-posting> > [2] > http://git.gnome.org/browse/**dia/commit/?id=0b73f85982d<http://git.gnome.org/browse/dia/commit/?id=0b73f85982d> > [3] > https://bugzilla.gnome.org/**show_bug.cgi?id=660574<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660574> > > > At 29.10.2012 22:42, Michael Ross wrote: > >> More info on the problem. >> >> I have been drawing a lot of zigzag lines with radiused corners - so there >> is arc calculation going on. >> >> There is some sort of calculation on the fly when you rubber band the >> zigzig line - in certain conditions it reduces the arc radius(ii).
