capture04.mp4 I use the program for mapping a lot. That means that I have to place text on path in order to align with streets correctly. Last time I commented on this, I was having trouble with the program allowing me to add the text on the path because the cursor would never place the tilde "~" next to the arrow so that I could attach the text to the path. Solved that problem by angling the path, adding the text then adapting the path to the part of the map where it belongs. Slow, but worked. Sometimes the text does not align to the beginning of the path, so while still in text editing mode, I grab the green triangle and slide it to the left end of the path. Problem fixed. Not anymore with version 1.7.2. Now, if you grab the green triangle to drag it to the beginning of the path, the program pulls the orange triangle which controls the break where the text goes below the path right up against the green triangle forcing all of the text after the first letter to the bottom of the path . . . upside down. If I try to move the orange triangle to the right to correct the problem, even though I pull the orange triangle, only the green one moves. This means that I now have to delete the text and path (undo doesn't work for some reason while doing this) and start over. Here is a video of what I'm talking about: I'm beginning to think that where the cursor shows it is clicking is not where it is actually clicking --- you'll notice at the beginning of the video where the click happens vs where the points actually show up.
