Currently, elements remain selected after they are drawn (i.e. selection
handles appear). If I want to draw another element close to the currently
selected element (especially near a handle), I need to click on the arrow tool,
then click on the canvas to deselect the current element, then select a drawing
tool again.
Can an option be added - perhaps as a user preference - that allows elements to
be *deselected* after they are drawn/added? That would reduce the need to
select tools just to draw another element. The use case is that I am drawing
flowcharts with arrows and when I try to draw an arrowhead at the end of a
line, the cursor instead picks up the currently selected element and moves it
or resizes it - which is not expected behavior. I think it's sensible to have
an option where a user only wants to draw elements one after another, then
later they can move or resize elements by selecting objects and grabbing
handles. At the moment, to achieve this a user needs to select a tool twice
after drawing each element, which interrupts drawing and reduces usability.
Thanks for considering!
