Offset distance

Hi.
Using 2.2 version.
Trying to change the default offset distance. Following the manual's direction doesn't work. Using polar coordinates or simply setting a new distance using arrow bracketing changes nothing. The distance remains the same.
Any thoughts are welcome.

Why do you post this in the developers section?
The default offset distance is the one used last time.
A new distance is set in the Tool Options bar above the drawing area. True, this is missing to be explained in the manual.

All due respect the last used offset difference does not post "correctly". Using 2.2and it's actually posting a distance used 3-4 times previously and that's every time I check it.

Sorry, but then I don't know a solution for you. It works correctly for me.
Something could be wrong with your installation, or you just don't understand something of the handling, but I have no clue what it could be.
