  @Raven said in Pen tool behaviour when extending an open path: Is there a preference or modifier key that governs the behaviour? In the context panel, uncheck "Adjustments" Cannot seem to get the node being moved with the spacebar method to snap to the segments or nodes of the same path (if snapping is enabled). Yes, there seems to be an issue here, I opened a bug on this one.

  @VectorStyler: I am using VS 1.1. I reckon it is in 1.2 Beta? Don't answer that: I found it! Thanks to @Subpath and @Boldline's screenshots!

  @VectorStyler Thank you for the explanation. I suspected the precision might be related to internal calculations. I appreciate your time in confirming that is the case.

  And… there's no need for icons in the 'Save Style' dialog — a checkbox with a text label that says 'Global' (or anything descriptive) would work great, IMO.

  @Pat I managed to replicate the preview issue in Windows 11. It seems that the Windows 10 preview solution does not work on Windows 11 file explorer. Not sure yet what causes this issue.

  @VectorStyler Thank you! I don't know why I wasn't thinking of the combine operations for this. I appreciate the reminder!

  @VectorStyler Thank you for changing to positive values. @VectorStyler said in Spacing between Objects: @Kumr said in Spacing between Objects: I noticed that the values to be in negative to get the spacing, it would help (for my mind) if it is other way around? I will change this.

  @Raaskot Yes, I found the error. it is in 1.1 only, 1.2 should be fine. I will provide a fix for this and others soon.

  @b77 said in When copy paste a layer -- layer name is altered: need to use 'Copy' from the Edit menu That makes sense. Though still missing the layer structure transfer things work more as expected when using menu-copy. Yet I acknowledge fully your suggestion to @VectorStyler.

  @Raaskot Meanwhile I managed to replicate the issue and found the root cause. The fix will be in the next build. The bug affects the strokes resulting in the blend object. The transform panel option @Li-Xiao was refering to can be found in the panel menu. Another way (workaround) to enable stroke scaling is to enable the Object -> Object Options -> Geometry -> Transformed Stroke on the group.

  @Kumr I think this is normal. It magnifies the layer, so, when the layer is filled with objects, you can see the things that are in the layer.

  @VectorStyler It would be nice if you make the first click you will get an sort of pivot icon and if you click on the icon you can still drag it around (to correct your first click) and that this pivot icon can snap to guides, shapes etc.

  Just to describe it more in detail: It began not updating the VS window, VS ellipse didn't scale big/small anymore for 1 second, next second: mouse cursor froze, after that the whole display stayed like this about 2 seconds, then BSOD with that message. This occurred two times in exactly this way, though, the second time without chrome opened in the background, just VS, since I had rebooted. So, VS seemed to trigger it, but I think the Intel drivers are ultimately not the best and could just be to blame. Also, I think the problem is super rare and you don't need to do anything about it. Thank you in any case

  @VectorStyler When I enabled Show Segment then I have to click and press control to get a straight line.
