[kicad-users] Cannot draw rectangle, arc or circle in EESchema's Library Editor....

[Rob Frohne [e-mail] [kicad-users]]

Hi All,

Using 0.201601081511+6431~40~ubuntu15.10.1-stable, release build, I find
I cannot make rectangles, circles or arcs, however, the series of line
segments does work. When I try to draw a rectangle, circle or arc, it
is like a select rectangle appears. When I do a line segment I get a
red line segment. You can see a video I made here
<http://people.wallawalla.edu/%7ERob.Frohne/kicad_bug/vokoscreen-2016-01-09_21-57-33.mkv>.
I think this is a bug. Or am I missing something.

Thanks,

Rob

It may be that you try to hold down the mose button while dragging. What
you need to do is click, then define the size of the shape, then click
again.
