I was wondering if anyone was effected by this small bug(if you can call it one): sourceforge.net.

Basically it means that if you switch from one tool to another before pressing enter, the shape/path drawn is destroyed.

Is this intentional or would you like this to be fixed?

I am looking for your opinions, be it in favor or against, so that if a lot of people appose this idea I won't waste any time on it.

Sorry I made a mistake in posting the link, it should be: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/171500

For consistency reasons - all three path tools (pencil/freehand, pen/bezier, calligraphy) currently show the same behavior - IMHO any change for the bezier tool with regard to finishing instead of cancelling the current path on tool switch should be applied to the pencil and calligraphy tool, too.

Contrary to the original subject of this thread, AFAICT the issue does _not_ affect the shape tools (rectangle, ellipse/circle, star/polygon, spiral).
