Thank you yet again, a very clear explanation, how nice to know "I didn't break it".

I've recently upgraded to 2.2.0 alpha, which is just quite astounding. I spent many years with Autocad from version 10 on, then Intellicad, then draftsight, then Qcad, I also dabble with Sketchup make. This version of LC is excellent.

I practised as architect for many years, but now since retirement use cad for designing furniture which I then hand build, As such it is hard to go past Librecad, and with the excellent and thoughtful support your forums give I cannot see me changing.

Thank you again.

Hal.

Thanks Hal for the screen shot, that brought your issue to light.

First, everything is okay, there is nothing you broke.

The Tool Options tool bar is a dynamically changed tool bar. Its content depends on the selected tools and functions.

After installation, the snap middle option is on by default. This option is liable for the Middle Points spin box showing up in the Tool Options tool bar.
When the snap middle option is deactivated, the Middle Points spin box is hidden and the tool box becomes empty.
The hight of the empty Tool Options tool bar is reduced to its minimum value, this is what you observe.
And the dots on the left are the gripper you see on every tool bar. This is where you have to click to drag the tool bar to another place.

On Linux the application settings are stored in your home folder. There is the file ~/.config/LibreCAD/LibreCAD.conf where among others the state of snap options is stored. This is the reason, why reinstalling LibreCAD doesn't restore the tool bar.
For a clean reinstallation, this file has to be deleted manually.
