Hi Support,

Pre-release v1847

Drawing tools Rectangle & Extending Rectangle, context menu behaves differently to previous versions.

v1847 -
right click outline - chart drawing context menu opens
right click filled area - chart shortcut context menu opens

v1842 -
right click outline - chart drawing context menu opens
right click filled area - chart drawing context menu opens

Apologies if you are already aware of this, or if in fact this change is intentional, but it does make the process of trying to change drawings via the context menu slightly frustrating.

Yes this is by design because we realize the previous way is a problem because a large rectangle will prevent you from accessing the standard chart shortcut menu.

If it is a real problem we would need to add an option to control the behavior.

Thank you for the update, and I can understand the reasoning behind the change.

I would not necessarily say that it is a problem, I just found it frustrating when the program was not behaving in the way that I am used to.

From an entirely selfish perspective, yes an option would be nice, however I do realise that there are probably many far higher priority things you are working on.
