(Happy new year!)

I believe that the backup files generated by FreeCAD should be hidden.
In Unix-like systems, their names should start with a '.'

The when and how of unexpected config changes is one of the last mysteries of mankind.

Hahaha, maybe it's FreeCAD's biorhythm kicking in, or perhaps it's gaining AI.

File?

It's clear that the following is not a demonstration... The dimensions of the bottom sketch were set using horizontal and vertical distance constraints, while those of the top were done using lock constraints. The dimensions of the left horizontal segments are equal. For convenience, the data used w...

The dark background shows, that you are using the dark theme. So it must be something in there and must be corrected there. Can you completely remove/rename your (multiple) config directories and retry first with the default, and then with just the dark theme? Does this happen with the official App...

... Therefore you "have" done something else. Gene Well, that thing you mentioned I did it some time ago, and the colors in the Sketcher remained the same until I compiled revision 35327 of version 0.22. That's why I suspect that update. The following are the colors as seen in: Edit->Pref...

This way I see the sketches now. This is definitely not how it should be. Here the color for a selected line is always the same, be it fully constrained or not. Did you reset the config? If so, can you try to change the color for "fully constrained", and check which color the selection wi...

That's almost what I would like to have implemented, but for the x and y coordinates independently. Then use "Constraint horisontal distance" on two points for x only or "Constraint vertical distance" for y only. When imposing just horizontal (or vertical) distance. The value is...

That's almost what I would like to have implemented, but for the x and y coordinates independently.

What I propose is that on the points within a sketch, relative coordinate constraints can be imposed concerning any other selected point. I don't see the difference other than that you always get the coordinate relative to the lesser value. And that you can't change it to a negative value to force ...
