macdraft arrow bug?

It seems that arrow lines drawn in macdraft 1.2a cannot be reliably
copied and pasted in another application (macdraw or macwrite).

Sometimes the line disappear leaving only the arrow head, some other
times the entire line just doesn't show up, some other times it
works, and some other times the arrow head shows up hollow. In
macwrite it looks fine on the screen, but screwed up when printed
on a Laserwriter. In macdraw you see the strange effect immediately
on the screen.

Does anyone know a work around for this? I'm using this on a mac+.

Is there any alternative to macdraw and macdraft? Something that
works the way it's supposed to? I even tried using superpaint but
the drawing capability is just insufficient (can't draw an arrow.)
