Draw light strings bug

[shakeonit]

Is it just me? Once you click on draw light strings, and complete and assign your design, it still wants you to keep drawing lines. I click the button on the toolbar off, and yet the pencil is still there and still wants to draw lines. There is no quick escape, you have to complete the line, add a new fixture and then cancel to get back into the screen and erase the mistake.

If you accidentally start drawing a string, I think you can hit ESC and it will stop.

Once you have more than 1 point however, you are forced to complete the string.

There is no 'click off' like you describe. If you want to get out of draw string mode, click one of the other mode buttons (like select fixture).

ok thanks, esc does work

I found that doing a double click instead of a single click as the ending point will end the drawing of strings.
