Bug Description
Summary: Interface to keep etching tool (via CTRL button when using the "Calligraphy Tool") is nigh on impossible to keep within the 'snap' circle for strokes that are intended to be close to each other. The snap circle becomes far too small to within.
Frequency: Always (5/5 trials for manifestations)
Platform: Linux amd64 (Ubuntu 8.04)
Version: Inkscape 0.46+devel, built May 14 2008
Suggestive Fix: Once a distance has been selected, the 'snap' circle should be a constant user defined OR make it such that the tool will contour UNTIL the point that the user releases the CTRL key. I cannot think of an instance where the user would keep the CTRL key pressed an _not_ wish to remain in contour etching mode.
