It seems to me that it should be 100% reproducible, but there's only one 
specific way to trigger it, perhaps you're not doing it right? Here's 
what I did:

1. In GAL, select the arc tool.
2. Click to set the midpoint.
3. Move directly left to set the radius and startpoint.
4. Move directly left from there, so that the angle is zero, the mouse click is outside the arc radius, and the center, startpoint and click point are collinear.
5. Click to end the arc.

AFAIK putting the click-point inside the radius works too, but the three 
must be perfectly collinear and the click-point must not be *on* the arc.
