Arrow Editing - doesn't respond to undo properly, and misalignment when snapping.

[AilsaF]

1. Using Designer 2

2. Using latest release version (2.3.0.2165)

3. Yes, I can reproduce it

4.  Yes it happens in a new document as well

5: 

• running windows 10 enterprise (v22H2)
• can't turn on hardware acceleration as my graphics card is not supported.
• Only recently started using the arrow tool so this is the first time I'm bumping into this issue, as far as I'm aware it's always done it.
• Not using any unusual hardware

Issues:

1. when I drag the red handles to alter the size of the stem or head of the arrow, then hit undo (either in menu or Ctrl+z), the handle moves back to the old position but the shape doesn't change back, you can see this in Fig.1,2 & 3. I tried clicking on the handle, doesn't fix it, it only fixes if you drag the handle.

2. when I drag the red arrow handles to alter the size of the head it snaps to match the width of the stem (which is a great feature), but I've noticed that only when snapping the handles are suddenly slightly misaligned to the edge of the shape. It also changes depending on the direction you are dragging it from towards the snap point, fig.4 shows dragging down to the snapping point, and fig.5 shows dragging up to the snapping point. It seems to always overshoot further in the direction your cursor is travelling. I measured the width of the head in both instances compared to the stem and it results in a measurement that is slightly over or under the stem width, never a perfect match.

I've been able to replicate this for both of the arrow head controls - however the stem controls appear to 'undo' as expected for me on Windows 10. Am I missing a specific step with the stem control to replicate this please?

I've also been able to replicate this issue, so I'm logging it with our development team for you now.

I hope this helps!

Oh apologies, it must have just been the arrowhead that bugs, I can't seem to replicate it for the stem now either.

Thanks for logging the others though!
