0nm with Distance Tool

When a line has already been fixed with the distance tool, the second point of measurement can be reset by using the left mouse click. Then the tool is activated again to choose the second point. When you can't remember which aircraft/point you selected first when using this distance line the previous time, you might click again on number one resulting in a measurement 0.0 which stays close to this aircraft and can be only hardly removed as the spot which accepts a right mouse click to delete the line is pretty small. I suggest therefore (one of) the following changes:

 

- left click on an existing distance line sets the tool back to the point where you can choose again number one (instead of no 2)

- ensure the measuring line is displayed dynamically when resuing the tool as it is on initial use (this would simplify to identify what the starting point of the line is)

- no allow distance lines with both fixes beeing the same point (in this case: either close the tool or restart it (to draw again a new line))
