    I have done a lot of searching on the web and in this user forum on how to overcome this problem. I can't find another instance of the problem I am describing.

    I have been following an online course and have encountered few problems as I moved along. I was attempting to create a star shape and input text with the Flow Into Frame command.

    My OS is Windows 11

    The app was newly installed on a new PC. My Version is 1.3.2 was installed  on 09/01/2024 (On an older PC using Windows 10 I was using Version 0.92.3 to begin my online courses) I do not have the installed file that I downloaded from the web.

    No special hardware.

    No special helper/assistive programs or keyboard modifiers

    I am attaching a link to the only post in my blog. (Blogger won't accept SVG graphics.) I was able to insert the screenshot of my problem page. You will see the Star/Polygon created  very unstar-like shapes!

    Reset the parameters in the tool control bar using the "delete" icon at the far right.
