"Tentative point" works different if AccuDraw is enabled or not.

I don´t know if this scenario is WAD or not:

If "AccuDraw" is ON and then I draw a polyline (Place SmartLine) with several segments and press Tentative Point (left and right button). If I do Reset button (right-click) then I could pick to another location.

But.

If "AccuDraw" is OFF and I do the same:........................................................................................................................................................................................................... then it is a CANCEL, so I would create a new polyline if I pick a new location.

So, AccuDraw and Tentative point are related together?

Example with "AccuDraw= ON" first and then OFF.
