Hi Tom,
I think this is an effect caused by the settings in the
EditableOMPoly, and how the PolyAddPointState is handing the
mouseMoved commands in from the mouse mode. Underneath, the
EditableOMPoly has already added the new point to the poly, the
mouseMoved motion just repositions it while it's waiting to set it
with the mouse click. It's not smart enough to delete that last
point if the OMDrawingTool gets deactivated before the point is set.
Seems like the DrawingTool-EditableOMGraphics communications API has
to be adjusted so the EditableOMGraphic is told when the tool is
deactivated, allowing it to clean up. I think the EditableOMPoly
would be the only one that needs to react, although the others might
want to delete themselves if the tool exits at a point before the
OMGraphic is fully defined.
