Unexpected Cut Path behaviour - maybe

Postby lbnc » Sat Oct 19, 2013 6:32 pm

Hi there,

I do the following:

1) in an empty file, draw a straight line across the page :tool_pen:
2) draw a circle on top of it such that it crosses the line twice :tool_ellipse:
3) make sure the circle is on top of the line
4) select both objects and do "Cut Path"

The result is not, as I would expect, the line cut into three new objects (line segments). Instead, I get one line from the original starting point to the first intersection between line and circle.

I can also draw an "V" consisting of two straight lines across the page, draw a circle on top and select "Cut Path". The result is again that the last two segments which I would expect are missing.

Bug or feature?

Cheers
Lasse
