I still don't quite get what the bug is.
1, start LC;
2, type in command: line
3, click the first point;
4, move the mouse pointer around.
do you mean the preview line is missing?
can you test download the nightly builds and try?

Hi - I'm an occasional user of LibreCAD, just a few small projects a year. Today I opened it up for the first time in months, and updated to the latest version before I started my project.
I hope I'm describing this clearly.....
Previously, when drawing or editing lines, I could see a dotted image of the line while working with it. That was very helpful, as I could see exactly where the line would be, what angle it was laying at, etc. Today I wasn't seeing that, so editing and adjusting line position was kind of hit-or-miss; I couldn't tell if I got it right until I clicked to finalize the move, and often had to repeat several times to tweak the positioning.
Also, I seem to recall that when moving or rotating an object I used to see a dotted "ghost image" that allowed easy accurate positioning.
Is there a setting or maybe a line color choice that I'm missing that's hiding this feature? Any suggestions are appreciated.
