Wrong status bar messages for Pen and Pencil tools

[RIco]

click+Ctrl doesn't work anymore to do single dots,
don't know when it started but i noticed it in r20809 (now using r20821 and the bug is still present)

I think this is a feature, not a bug ;-)

See http://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/inkscape?view=rev&revision=20763

well... the status bar still says Ctrl+click for single dot on the bezier tool

and... it doesn't work for the pen tool either..

It does work with pen tool if you select straight line modes (the last two mode icons).
I confirm it needs a status bar message cleanup in tools-switch.cpp.

merci JazzyNico, seems i mixed up pen..and pencil tool..

...but..

when i click for a single dot.. it appears something like 150px to the right of where i clicked.. can you reproduce this or is it my computer?

(ubuntu 8.10, svn r20924)

Rico,

I can't reproduce this with r20921 and r20934 on Windows XP. Nothing strange on the canvas.
I test it on Ubuntu 8.10 asap.

Works well with 20930 and 20937 on Ubuntu 8.10. Only dots and nothing else.

[RIco (rico-rootscore-deactivatedaccount)]

ok, I deleted Inkscape preferences and everything is back to normal. thanks for checking anyway.

Fixed in build 20952.
