using the trim (RM) command
the drawing has a circle with a line going through it. I want to trim the line ends to the circle with the remaining lines inside the circle.
select the circle as limiting entity.
command line says Choose entity to trim. click the line on the right side of center, the excess line on the right is properly trimmed.
command line says Choose entity to trim. Click the remaining line inside the circle on the left side of center. nothing happens.

if I exit the trim command and re-enter, now I can trim the left side of the line

This is expected behaviour. Note that the click point of the limiting entity (circle) also plays a role when trimming. You'd have to click the limiting entity closer to the desired intersection point to trim to that point.
