The Erase Drawing Mode Feature Does Not Respect My Tool Settings

Hello,

I have Sierra Chart configured so that right-clicking switches the current drawing tool to the hand tool.

When I use the Erase Single Drawing feature, everything works as it should. However, when I use the Erase Drawing Mode feature, right-clicking switches to the pointer tool instead of the hand tool (please see the video).

Could you please look into this? Thank you.

Support for what you are looking for will be implemented in the next release. The erase drawing mode is not really considered a tool. So this setting does not apply but will in the next release:
Tool Settings >> General >> Tool Options >> Right Click Exits Current Drawing Tool To : "None"

Hello,

I tested the feature and ran into a problem.

After I use Erase Drawing Mode, Erase Single Drawing switches to the pointer tool instead of the hand tool, which is how I have it set up. Please take a look at the video.
