Yeah, on the mouse clicks, one of the most irritating things is when
drawing a polygon. The mouse pointer changes to the filled in circle
when trying to complete the circle, but when you click it seems to
have a different hit test and creates a new node instead ... you have
to fiddle around a bit to figure out where it thinks the node really
is.
