Re: [guide-user] Re: Problems with homemade overlay file

Hi Tiziano,

Aha! Problem found and fixed.

I got the smaller file via private e-mail (Yahoo strips attachments).
Not long ago, I added a new overlay line-drawing mode to Guide, that
allows one to draw a line, then add points to create a polygon; see

http://www.projectpluto.com/update8.htm#ovl_lines

A fine and wonderful thing, indeed... except that I didn't get it
quite right; I made a really dumb mistake that leads, in one case out
of 256, to a possibility of mangled lines of the sort you saw.

I've posted Yet Another Bug Fix update, again at

http://home.gwi.net/~pluto/guide8b.zip

which includes this fix.
