Auto Trim

Hi,

I remember that the Auto Trim function was at some point working pretty good for me. But since a while I'm struggling with this tool and I'm not sure why. Maybe somebody can tell me what is going on:

My idea how it has to work is the same what I can find in the tool description.

Auto Trim / Description: Trims or extends an entity on both sides to the next limiting entities.

Important is that it has to trims TO THE NEXT LIMITING ENTITIES. But it don't ...

I know ellipses etc are difficult but simple lines should work flawless.
Here a simple example. Depending on which line I click it works or not. Occasionally it works if I click two times the same point but that makes no sense to me.

Similar problem here.
Sometimes it helps to click twice (not a dobbleclick but 2 slow clicks) on the specific line.
The result is better but not flawless.

I thinks Andrew should look at this.

PS: the result also depends on where you click on the line. So you may try out different positions.
