Description Yann Dirson 2001-04-10 16:25:40 UTC 
When you draw a zigzag line with 2 segments like this:

<---x--+
       |
       |

... then the arrow's orientation is not "<" as expected and show on
my drawing, but ">", which is quite unexpected.

The symetric figure with ">" expected is fine, though.

When turning the figure with 90 degrees, we don't even get a "^" or "v"
arrow, which gives funny results as well.
Comment 1 Cyrille Chépélov 2001-05-18 21:28:43 UTC 
This behaviour is usually shown when the last segment of a zigzagoid
object (zig-zag line, association, SADT flow, etc.) has a zero length.
When that happens, Dia doesn't know what the direction of the arrow
really should be. 

This can be fixed easily: either the last segment should have a
non-zero length (pull it a little), or it shouldn't exist
(middle-click, delete segment).

Either way, this is not a bug.
