Free Select tool

Is there an option somewhere to put the Free Select tool back in it's older mode of behaviour? The newer business of having to end continuous-line select exactly on the starting pixel is intensely frustrating, especially on busy images where it's hard to see the start of the line. And I've yet to figure out the weirdness where, if you miss the starting pixel and it seems to go into polygonal select mode, it starts rotating and scaling the selected region in bizarre ways.

Thanks, Chris Moller

if you doubleclick anywhere, the free select tool will close the selection with a straight line to it's starting point.

Aha! I missed that! Thanks.

You can also close it by pressing Return, then it will commit what you have (without the need to add any extra points)

thanks, that never occured to me. specially when using a tablet that's easier than double-clicking.
