Hey all, I'm a new (happy) user of LibreCAD.
I'm running:
  SCM Revision: 2.0.7
  Compiler: GNU GCC 4.8.2
  Qt Version: 4.8.6
  Compiled on: Jan 26 2015
on Ubuntu 14.04 and have run into a minor problem.

I created a couple of simple blocks:

and


I'm having trouble trying to snap a line to the center of the circle if a text letter ('R' in this case) obscures where the center is located. The snap to center works fine with the first example image. As I drag the mouse slowly near the center point, you can see the cross-hair 'stick' to the center of the circle. When I repeat the same action on the second example (with a text field on top of the center point), it fails to find the center point.
I should point out that the snap detection does 'find' the insertion point (I'm unfamiliar with the terminology used here) of the text string (at the uppser-left corner of the 'R').
I suspect that the snap-detection algorithm ignores any other entities within the area of the text string.

Thanks for a great program!

I'm re-designing my kitchen and am putting it to great use!
