So it's really a matter that for that particular use, you may end up clicking too many times or too fast. Things to check: 1) if you have an old mouse (or even a recent Logitech MX that wear off fast), the left click contact may be worn out and generating spurious clicks (when my two previous mice started dying on me, I first noticed in Gimp... because other apps a less sensitive to double clicks). Try another mouse. 2) if its a wireless mouse, check the batteries (or try with new batteries) 3) your OS has a mouse setting somewhere that determines how close two mouse clicks should be to be interpreted as a mouse a click. Narrowing that interval could help. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

When using that tool, double-clicking will attempt to close the path from that location - are you accidentally double-clicking by chance?
