[Inkscape-devel] measurement tool

The new tool is nice, but how do I set the origin to anything other than the lower left corner? I want to use it to measure distances between arbitrary points. There must be a shortcut (such as Shift+click) to set the origin, and the current origin must be indicated on the screen at all times while the tool is active. The shortcut to set the origin must be added to the tool's statusbar hint.

Also, "Font size" must be removed from the tool's controls - it's pure UI preference, not something you change in the document, so its presence here is quite confusing. I'd suggest placing it into the tool's page in Preferences.

There's a funny bug: when I drag with Ctrl to snap and stretch the angle to 180 degrees, the circle arc turns into an ellipse.
