Hi,

I want to report a bug in the "Keep Chart Drawing Selected After Creation" feature.

If "After Single Tool Use Change To" is set to Hand, then after drawing any drawing, the object does not remain selected.

For drawing modifications, everything is OK.

Here is a video: https://youtu.be/m8wRjaxTo5c

This behavior really makes sense, but we will look at this and see what can be done.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Clicking on the drawn object after it has been created is an unnecessary extra step that I would like to avoid.

I hope it can be fixed.

No need to apologize. I understand you have a lot on your plate. 😉

Please let me know when you've reached a conclusion.

I don't mean to be a bother, but since it's been almost two months since I brought this issue to your attention, I'd like to know if you've looked into it yet. Thank you.

A solution to this will be implemented in the next release but we hope it does not cause complaints/issues though for other users.

When changing Chart Drawing tools, the existing selected drawing will remain selected if changing to the Pointer, Chart Values or Hand tools.
