[ Fixed ] Snap Parallel only works beyond endpoints of edge?

Post by Roy_043 »

This had me confused for some time:
Snap Parallel only works beyond the endpoints of the referenced edge.
In the image snap parallel does not work if the pointer is in the area defined by the magenta lines.

This seems like an undesirable limitation.
