Some developers may remember a message I posted to the mailing lists some time ago, maybe a year or 2 ago, asking to have at least some of the tools set for Own Style (by default) rather than Last Used, to prevent this kind of utter confusion among new users. At first, on the mailing list, some developers sort of hijacked it into their own different project. But ultimately (in a bug report) one developer suggested a reasonable solution. See this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1704777 If anyone else (developers) could chime in on that solution, perhaps we could get it coded into one of the next new versions, and prevent this type of headache for new users? Thank you very much, brynn -----Original Message----- From: K B Sent: Monday, August 27, 2018 10:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Inkscape-user] Inkscape can be extremely frustrating All I want to do to begin with is draw a simple Line Circle. (white background with white inside the circle). But instead it draws a dashed-rectangle with (4) little squares. Two squares are on the rectangle and the other two are outside. So, I go into: Edit, Preferences and the Circle it not even listed under Shapes! Crazy. Does anybody know what I should do? Thank you.
