Comment 14 for bug 452568

I draw many lines with arrows and they always point in the direction of the line.
Please explain *exactly* what you have done. Try this:
1. select pen tool (shift+F6)
2. click once on canvas somewhere
3. click once somewhere else on canvas
4. press enter
5. ctrl+shift+F (stroke&fill dialog)
6. add arrow to start or end. Does it point in the right direction?
For me this always works.

Perhaps you have a double node at the end of the path, which results in the horizontal arrow?
