Description Tobias Vogel 2012-07-27 18:48:32 UTC
accidentally double-clicking while selecting a free form using the lasso tool closes the selection and undo will de-select everything.

like backspace removes the last added point while selecting, there should be a possibility to undo an accidentally closed selection and continue just at the point the selection was being drawn before double-clicking by mistake.
Comment 1 Michael Natterer 2017-07-09 17:29:49 UTC
I think this qualifies a a fix: you now need to explicitly confirm
using enter. Closing the shape now simply closes it but keeps it
editable, and even re-openable.

    app: allow to close a GimpToolPolygon without committing it
    
    so we can edit a complete shape, and reopen it to continue editing,
    instead of immediately selecting when the first point is clicked.
