On Mac OS and Windows, the spin box is placed next to the cursor and
moves with it. On X11, I had to disable that because there is a problem
embedding widget items if the flag Qt::WA_PaintOnScreen is set on the
canvas.
But yes, it might be better to have a separate window on X11.

It is intended that editing changes the result. After pressing the
return key, the offset line should move to the new distance (but the
mouse should not be moved, otherwise it will be overriden by the
following mouse move position). Doesn't this work for you?

Marco

Hi all
There is a new editing tool in the master branch.
The offset curve tool creates parallel shifts of linestrings and
polygon rings ( single sided buffers with the geos function
GEOSSingleSidedBuffer ). The tool can be applied to the edited
layer (the geometries are modified) or also to background layers
(creates copies of the lines / rings and adds it to the the edited
layer). It is thus ideally suited for the creation of distance
line layers.
Let me know about issues, suggestions, comments.
The work was kindly funded by the city of Uster (Switzerland).
Regards,
Marco
