Maybe i'm missing something, but a behavior that really confuses me in Illustrator is that when I'm using the pen tool and click close to an path point below (even if it's not selected) , the new line JOINS the point. I think it'd be much better if the line would SNAPS to the previously existed point (if not selected) and joins it only if selected-a behavior similar to Freehand or Intaglio. It becomes annoying when I'm drawing with open lines-see example, <http://web.mac.com/jzarracina/iWeb/Javier%20zarracina%20Web/WIP_files/slideshow.html?slideIndex=9> closing lines that i don't want etc- or I have a complex drawing, forcing me to lock or use many layers. Also i'd like to have the option to automatically close an open path
