Hi All-

This bug report [1] notes that the "Constrain zone to 90/45" option only 
works during zone creation.  The option also doesn't constrain the final 
angle.

I note that this option is stored in the file format, so it seems the 
intention was for it to be persistent.  Anyone have some more background 
on this option?  Did it work in the legacy canvas?

I'm thinking that fixing the bug requires two things:

1) a double-joint in the final connection
2) disabling end-point dragging in the outline - only center-point 
dragging and with the Alternate constraint fixed on.

What do folks think?
