When I draw a circle there's a gap, like pac-man, and when I try to bridge the gap, the whole thing disappears because this program is so smart! Why would it be set this way by default and how to I make the CIRCLE tool make a CIRCLE? Thanks.
On the toolbar when circle is selected, you'll see an arc icon. It is possible that it was accidentally selected, hence becomes the default. Select the full circle.
