Path draw tool now broken as of Update 2?

When drawing out a shape with the path tool, switching from curved line style to straight line style is now cancelling and removing the entire shape I'm in the middle of drawing? It didn't do that before? What's going on? I often need to draw wavy bits and then change to a straight bits to stop it curving and end at a right angle etc.

This is making using curves in the draw tool pretty much useless right now.

Just checked, and you're right. How does this even happen? It's like two steps forward and one back!

Absolutely a niche problem, but for me, who LOVES messing about with paths and plazas, this has really dampened my enthusiasm. Please sort this out, Frontier.

I don't even think it's that niche - plazas and the path tool are a major selling points of this new game - and now making a plaza is no fun at all! I really hope they release a hotfix to fix the things Update 2 broken asap

Sorry, I didn't mean to diminish the problem, I'm absolutely with you on this, Frontier had made many mistakes in this release, but the paths, for me, wasn't one of them. I'm very upset that my enjoyment of the game has been affected by this. Worse still, I'm not sure how it happens without it being a deliberate design choice.

It's now not possible to switch to 'line style' 'straight' in order to close this off nicely, meaning I have to end up with extruding bumps I then have to faff round with cleaning up. This is a huge step back and I sincerely hope this can be rectified as soon as possible with a hotfix.

If there is a serious new bug in an update, then there should be a way to let the devs know that this is a very important issue. I don't like the silence, they should let people know asap what issues that they are prioritizing for future fixes based on complaints.

Thats why Frontier has a bug tracker :)

If you take a look there you can see this issue has been reported and several people contributed / confirmed they have the same.
Frontier has been notified and im pretty sure it will be adressed.
