<br>
On Mac OS and Windows, the spin box is placed next to the cursor and
moves with it. On X11, I had to disable that because there is a
problem embedding widget items if the flag Qt::WA_PaintOnScreen is
set on the canvas.<br>
But yes, it might be better to have a separate window on X11.<br>

<br>
It is intended that editing changes the result. After pressing the
return key, the offset line should move to the new distance (but the
mouse should not be moved, otherwise it will be overriden by the
following mouse move position). Doesn't this work for you? <br>

There is a new editing tool in the master branch.<br>
The offset curve tool creates parallel shifts of linestrings
and polygon rings ( single sided buffers with the geos
function GEOSSingleSidedBuffer ). The tool can be applied to
the edited layer (the geometries are modified) or also to
background layers (creates copies of the lines / rings and
adds it to the the edited layer). It is thus ideally suited
for the creation of distance line layers.<br>
<br>
Let me know about issues, suggestions, comments.<br>
<br>
The work was kindly funded by the city of Uster
(Switzerland).<br>
