- I just installing and running LibreCAD V1.0.0RC2 on a Windows XP
   professional computer, and got the same result as mentioned
   above.

- That bug was not there in LibreCAD V1.0.0RC1, and is not there
   when compiling LibreCAD from GIT (today).

- When compiling LibreCAD from GIT (today), I noticed that
   the cursor shape used for drawing entities have changed a lot.
   This lead me to think that work was in progress on the draw
   cursor, when RC2 was released.
