Beginners' Questions Line - Both Arrow Heads At Same End Of Line

    Hey guys!

    I'm trying to add an arrow head, onto the end of a line I just drew, but regardless of which "Marker" option I use, the arrow head always goes on the OTHER end of the line:

    Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

     

    EDIT: I was wondering if it was possible to make lines 10% blurry by default as well, I've tried going through the "Last Used Style", and selecting a line that I already made 10% blurry, and using "Take From Selection" but unfortunately neither seemed to work:

     

     

    Any help would really be appreciated, these 2 things would help with a D&D Map thing I was planning for my group.

    The blur issue is currently reported/requested. https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/3902

    Please add your interest to the GitLab report.

    As a workaround, the line with a blur can be copied, then subsequent lines can be updated with Ctrl+Shift+V (paste style).

    Regarding arrows:

    I will speculate that the lines being drawn have a shape applied. Please provide an example Inkscape svg with the issue.

    Thanks for the responses Tyler! I definitely appreciate it. Here's an inkscape svg file I made, with two arrowheads, that are both at the same end of a freehand line, despite me having using the 2 different marker boxes:

     

    File itself has been attached.

    You have a path effect (Power Stroke) applied on your stroke; please go Path->Remove Path effects and everything will be fine.

    Ohhh, oops, thanks guys! I definitely appreciate the help! 

    Just one final thing, is there a way to have no path effects by default on all future freehand lines I draw? I tried "Last Style Used", and "Take From Selection", but all future lines still have a power stroke.

    I'd ensure the tool's shape is set to none.

    Sorry Tyler, it seems that the "Shape" option, isn't showing up for me with Freehand lines, only with Bezier lines, any ideas?

    I'd de-activate the pressure sensitivity button.
