Just to confirm, this is tested and working. But, I think what happened<br>
here is that you may have dragged a very small (too small) box first, and<br>
then subsequent single clicks were then trying to clone that non drawable<br>
shape. I thought I'd avoided that case by not remembering parameters for<br>
shapes too small to draw, will fix this in the next release – so thanks for<br>
reporting it! :-)<br>

the square block does work if you click on it first<br>
<br>
but try clicking on the circle, the triangle and the square in that order -<br>
the square does not create a shape by default (the others do)<br>
<br>
then exit physics and go back in<br>
click on the square, the triangle and circle in order - the circle does not<br>
create a shape by default (the others do)<br>
<br>
and variations of the above - sometimes the default (click shape, click<br>
screen, shape standard size shape created) works sometimes it doesn't<br>
eg. it might always work for the square but not at all for the triangle or<br>
circle depending on the clicking order<br>
<br>
in some cases it leaves just an arrow on the screen and the program crashes<br>
<br>
all of the above without me trying to create any smaller shapes<br>

Hmmm, that's really interesting. I can't reproduce any of these cases here :-( Is anyone else able to reproduce these cases? I've tested on an XO-1 running 0.82, XO-1 running 0.84, and a Mac running F11 and sugar-jhbuild 0.85.x</blockquote>
<div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Just to help my sanity, when you next reproduce this... With the tool that you find fails, can you click and drag to create a size of your own choosing, and then afterwards single click to create a clone? Just to be sure that your not managing to create a 'micro' shape as the default by accident (yes I need to fix that case).</blockquote>
