+Subject: [PATCH] Improve resizing chevrons so the control point is a fixed
+ distance from end
+
+during resizing, because...
+
+"If I want to use LibreOffice Draw to illustrate process steps with chevrons
+(which I do a lot, working on for example customer project roadmaps), I always
+get stuck if the steps I want to illustrate are not equal lengths, because the
+sizes/angles of the chevron "arrow heads" are proportional to the length of the
+chevron, rather than being fixed, and thus don't "fit" together. Which makes
+for an incredibly ugly diagram."
