Description arnechaa 2003-05-06 17:25:22 UTC 
When merging a circle with an other object (eg. a sqare), using Shape, Merge, 
the circle is converted to a polygon. It should have been converted to 
something (eg. a curve) which would have retained the circle shape of the 
circle part of the new merged object.

This is reproduceable in version 1.1beta and ina current internal one.
Reassigned to Armin.
Comment 2 Armin Le Grand 2003-05-08 13:09:28 UTC 
This works as intended since our PolyPolygon-Clipper which is used for
that purpose does not handle curves. This again is the case since
clipping one curve to the other is rather complex and not really
solved. Thus, all curves need to be converted to polygons before those
logic functions can be applied.
But there is hope: We are working on a new basic polygon class which
can also handle curves. Just as info: Clipping curves against curves
may have up to 9 cutting points...
Expect this as extension in a later version, but we cannot promise
since it's really not trivial.
Since it works as intended i cannot accept this as a bug.

AW: Closing, works as intended.
