Beginners' Questions Draw Freehand Lines>Ellipse

    Is anyone having issues with this feature in the 1.02 version?  I'm able to draw with triangle in or out, but when I try with ellipse.  It acts strange and everything on my canvas disappears from view.  The ellipse line leaves only small squares at the beginning and end of line.  However, if I do Control>A it acts likes my objects are still there.  Here are screen prints to help show what I'm talking about. Left side is after I have done with triangle in and out and then when I try the ellipse above those.  Notice even my text (on the right) disappears.    If I do undo then my in and out and text reappear.  I think maybe it's a setting somewhere, but not sure.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I think I figured it out.  It had something to do with Path Effects>Pattern Along Path default setting being at Repeated, Stretched vs. Single Stretched.
