Sketcher Bug - Constraint edits in "Inventor style" causes problems

[fer06137]

I love Freecad and have been using it a lot for 3D printing projects.

There is however one bug that is driving me crazy and was hoping someone else could replicate it and let me know if it is not just my setup.

To replicate:
Using Windows with Freecad 15 or 16
Ensure that Freecad is set to "Inventor Navigation"
Open or create a sketch that has a length constraint.
Hold CTRL while double clicking on the value of the constraint in the sketcher plane.
You should get a pop-up to change the value. Change it and hit OK
The mouse now locks onto the background and any mouse movements will tilt the sketch. ESC will release but now the mouse pointer goes into a window select mode. ESC sometimes gets it out.
This does not behave the same if you edit the constraint value in the side bar.

This problem is not there when you use Linux and looks like it is limited to Windows. I am using 64 bit for both Windows and Freecad and have seen this on both Windows 7 and 10 systems.

Could someone please repeat and post if they experience the same phenomenon?

BTW, check out Gesture navigation style. No holding of Ctrl needed

In the past Inventor style was know to cause issues in Sketcher, I don't personally ever use it, I always stick to the default CAD Style, so anyway I just tried it and now it seems Inventor Navigation Style works fine for me on Linux in Sketcher.

deepsoic posted while I was typing, so perhaps this is a Windows specific matter?

Confirmed. Without having looked the details I assume the point is that because the (modal) dialog pops up the Inventor style doesn't get the last mouse release event and thus gets into an inconsistent state. I often get this also with the Blender style.
