Hi,<br>
<br>
The parallel line tool works fine at my local installation (master,
kubuntu).<br>
<br>
I agree that the numeric input is not yet ideal (because it can be
easily overwritten, as Martin discovered). If you have a better idea
how to allow numeric inputs you are welcome to propose a better
approach.<br>
<br>
We originally wanted the spinbox to follow the mouse cursor in the
map canvas (like in Autocad) - but for some reasons this did not
work with qt across all operating systems. That's why the spinbox is
now at the bottom left. Maybe this would be easier to implement now
with qt5?<br>
<br>
It would also be nice to have a keyboard modifier (e.g. ctrl) which
would make a copy of an existing line, rather than moving the
existing line.<br>

<div>Just tried that - in my case the spin box gets keyboard
focus, so I was able to enter offset value (which must be
followed by Enter). It seems that all the time you need to
keep the mouse at the same location (with left button
pressed) otherwise your value gets overwritten. So it's
best to take a deep breath beforehand :)</div>
