Hi Martin,

I just learnt from a response on the dev-list that it is still much simpler: You begin by pressing the mouse button and move the mouse, THEN add the Alt-press and everything is fine.

Sometimes it is so simple, unbelievable ;))

Wolfgang: thanks for that, quite correct, well spotted :=)))))

The honour belongs to somebody else, I'm afraid.

...

Hold down the Alt key (together with the Shift key) to draw a
symmetrical ellipse (a circle) with the center point as the starting
point.

"Under Linux it is necessary to hold down both the Alt and Control keys at the same time to achieve the above result....

Might now be:
"Under Linux it is necessary to hold down the left mouse button first and move it a little, and only then press the Alt-key" or something like that ;)

Regards,
Wolfgang
