Holo. After weeks of trouble-free time on Inkscape, meticulously going through Kirsonov's book, today I ran into some difficulty. When i went to use the ellipse tool, it made a rectangle. The star tool now does the same. Does this sound like a bug or might it be some inadvertent setting that needs to be reset. Thanks.

Had you been working for some long hours uninterrupted, when this happened?
Does it continue to happen after closing and re-opening Inkscape?

Thanks for the response. Turns out that it was a total rookie error.
