I’m confused by the Line Shape tool. I can easily click-drag-release to create a line, but I’m unable to edit the line as I expect. For example, I’m working in a very large image, and I need to zoom out to find two points to connect. If I click-drag-click, I end up with a line that is close to correct, but the endpoints need to be nudged a bit. Given that a line is a vector object this seems simple, and after drawing a line I see a drag handle at each end. While the line tool is active, clicking just starts a new line, so I switch to the Move tool. As soon as I do, the line’s 2 drag handles appear to become 4, as though the line is just a very narrow Rectangle Shape. If I hover near an end of the line, the mouse pointer changes to a line-with-perpendicular-arrow pointing in the direction of the line, suggesting that I can change the length of the line. However, if I do so, the width also changes, which I do not want. Alternatively, if I am very careful, I can sometimes hover over one of the 4 drag handles, which allow me to stretch the line, but if I deviate from the line too much it starts to get thicker, or even suddenly rotate to a diagonal of the original line?!
What’d I’d like is a line between two points, and the ability to independently drag each of those points around until I have the positioned correctly, and I’d like the stroke of the line to remain constant while I move the end points. How can I accomplish this?
