Was there a recent change to the iPad app that introduced new constrain buttons on hover, or did they get closer/overlapping with nodes?

I’m finding it impossible to draw/sketch a line starting from a node with the latest version (5.600).

(Since I’m a ‘new user’ I cannot upload video…)

I uploaded this the other day under ‘enlarged text makes the line tool hard to use’

It’s a bug and didn’t use to be like this. Drives me crazy lol  
One of there devs said there looking into it.  
Until then, we suffer my friend…

Thanks Istvan – it’s almost unusable at this point, looking forward to a fix!
