Change indication when we have clicked the second time, making a point — at Version 2

Description (last modified by Don-vip)

User clicks once. This makes a point or begins a line.
User clicks again without moving the pointer.
This finalizes that he is making a point, not a line.
However nearby the point(er) *there is no visual indication that this has happened*. This is very bad and unlike any other editor.

The only way to tell if that second click has occurred is to slowly move the pointer away from the point.

If there is a red line pulling along, that means the second click has not occurred.

Other editors change the symbols around the pointer so the user knows right away that the second click has occurred.

Sure maybe around the edges of the screen there is some indication, but not in the vicinity of the pointer.

Change History (2)

We already use pointer overlays for different purposes.

I agree that this specific case is not yet indicated and probably should be.
