Free Select tool

[Chris Moller-3]

Is there an option somewhere to put the Free Select tool back in it's
older mode of behaviour?  The newer business of having to end
continuous-line select exactly on the starting pixel is intensely
frustrating, especially on busy images where it's hard to see the start
of the line.  And I've yet to figure out the weirdness where, if you
miss the starting pixel and it seems to go into polygonal select mode,
it starts rotating and scaling the selected region in bizarre ways.

Thanks,
Chris Moller

if you doubleclick anywhere, the free select tool will close the
selection with a straight line to it's starting point.

You can also close it by pressing Return, then it will commit what you
have (without the need to add any extra points)

thanks, that never occured to me. specially when using a tablet that's
easier than double-clicking.
