Bug report: Unfilled Path width thickens on hover, etc.

Post by jonathanw »

Hi,

1)
Hovering over an unfilled Graphic Path element causes it to render with a larger than specified width, until the file is reloaded.
Copy/Pasting creates a copy with the correct width initially, which enlarges on hover also.
The rendering error also shows in 3D

2)
Closed Paths do not join properly at the endpoints: the segments are not 'fused' into a continuous loop.

3) (Enhancement)
Sharp corners on paths are not always clipped, but only when the extension becomes very long (and then the clipping is done at the corner, not offset by the width of the line)
Maybe corners should always be clipped, or the clipping threshold be an option for each path (in case the user wants sharp corners).
Rounded corners would also be nice.

Attached picture:
New copy of a path; Path that has been hovered;
Paths with endpoints in different places, but otherwise identical (hovered);
Path with sharp corners (hovered).
All paths should be 1.06mm wide, on a 1mm grid.

PS:
The line thickening only seems to happen in the "Draw" mode (as opposed to "Pan")

Thanks for your help,
