Hi,

as said, I am gradually enhancing old colde (GDraw, google it up, like 
10 years old) which needs to be restructured to handle a lot of things 
better.

I entered a bug about this. THings do work for me, but I will rememebr 
to check better.

About stickyness, it works for me! Also, I can rotate in 45/90 degree 
intervals. However, there is some commeted or old code here and there 
about constraints, i will check that

Yes, that is a detail I miss from CorelDraw. Also A feature needed to 
"split" or get out existing hidden point when they merge. I don't know 
how how ti handle this yet, thus I entered a feature request about it.

It works for me! Perhaps it is not reliable, i will do some testing.

The cursor doesn't change... that's true, but it is a minor thing, The 
buttons do lightly in the toolbox. They don't for you?
