Okay, this one is driving me crazy. I found Synfig after a long search for a 2D animation program. I'm really excited about it. It looks like it will do exactly what I want, with room for me to grow. It's cool.
However, when I attempt to follow the tutorial, I get as far as "draw a circle" and I run into a problem. When I click on the canvas with the circle tool, the program displays a piece of a circle, as if I'm drawing a huge circle about 3 feet in diameter. The canvas is only big enough to show a small arc from this circle. Also, when I release the mouse button, the circle arc disappears from the canvas. The circle does appear in the layer list, but no part of it is visible on the canvas.
This same problem exists for all tools, such as rectangle, bline, etc.
Any thoughts? Thanks!
