Hi Martin,

It's actually not a bug, that's to be consistent with existing 2D coordinate entry.

Like if you are drawing a line and type in a 2D coordinate like 5,5 that is taken as an x,y value. It doesn't change depending on the view.

Same thing with existing polar coordinate entry, you can enter 5<45 for example which will be taken as an x,y value.

So the new "relative to previous line segment direction" polar coordinate entry does that also.

Maybe these should be view dependent but it probably wouldn't be good for just one of them to do that.
