Description Jo 2016-06-14 13:26:33 UTC 
the scissor path gets destroyed when i save.
Now, this is only an example, but maybe there are other situations where a scissor path could be destroyed. The lasso tool in comparison, is stable, not like scissor paths
Comment 1 Michael Schumacher 2016-06-14 14:07:27 UTC 
Anything that cancels pending tool actions destroys it.
Comment 2 Jo 2016-06-14 22:48:11 UTC 
as said, the lasso tool suffers NOT from the same issue, please check that. For that comparison i wrote the report.
Comment 3 Michael Schumacher 2016-06-15 08:37:09 UTC 
The path of an uncommitted free selection is destroyed as well.
Comment 4 Michael Natterer 2016-06-22 10:57:13 UTC 
An uncommitted free selection gets confirmed on tool change.

For iscissors we don't even have a commit path that closes the
path and confirms it on enter. Should add that.

    gimp_iscissors_tool_commit(): if the curve is not closed, close and
    recalculate it.
