Hi,

There is a bug in lmt_arrow. If given a "non-cycle" path, lmt_arrow
completes the cycle.

      \starttext

      \startMPcode
        newpath p;
        ahfactor := 5;
        p := origin .. (1cm, 1cm) .. (2cm, 0);
        draw lmt_arrow
             [
               path = p,
               location = "percentage",
               percentage = 50,
               alternative = "curved",
             ]
             withpen pencircle scaled 1bp;
      \stopMPcode
      \stoptext

With 2021.11.11, I get the attached file. Note that lmt_arrow has drawn the
"cycle" version of the path, even though p does not have a cycle.

I have looked at the code and cannot figure out why this is happening.

it happens in the 'direct' variant (metapost.registerdirect) where a boolean
is passed as signal and that boolean then is also picked up by the (shared)
path injector as (old school) signal that a path is closed while it should
instead consutl the closed field in a path table (sounds more complex than it
is)

so in the end it is a nasty side effect of the fast inject code path (shared
function with different stack values; i'll probably have to ditch a "low level
backward compatibility feature no one uses anyway" some day)

i uploaded a fix that you can test when the bins are compiled at

        https://build.contextgarden.net/#/waterfall?tags=c.luametatex

new bins then in:

        https://dl.contextgarden.net/build/luametatex/

(fyi: in the mp code you see that the path p is 'get' from the lua end where
it got passed to by parameter)

Thanks! Works perfectly here.

Spoke too soon. Now straight lines don't work:

new attempt (submitted to build)
