Hi,

since 3.19.2 the Stretch tool looks for any selection and follows the specification "Only stretch selected entities if there is a selection".

That is a nice feature but it leads many times to confusing because I have to deselect a selection just because I need to use the stretch tool on something else on the fly. The same if I "forgot" a selection outside of my zoom which is still important for me. The stretch tool just won't work without any message why not. My routine now is that I terminate every selection just before I use the stretch tool just not to be surprised by "why isn't it working"?

It would be nice to have in the Stretch option bar a checkbox to turn the "only selection feature" on or off. QCAD should remember that setting.
