Drawing a line a certain length - Bug?

I have reoccurring problem drawing lines to a specific length. I click a starting point - get it started - and type the distance. It works one time on a newly opened file. From then on it puts the end of the line down where my cursor is and ignores the numerical input.

If I reopen the file it will work once. I have 1010 on a iMac G5 10.4.
Very annoying

I'm having the same problem but my tracker is turned on and I have all of the checks in the same places in the Tracker Settings box. Is there somewhere else where there is a setting to measure everything from the origin?

Is this what you're looking for? Tracker settings pulldown, Relative units are on as shown, off if icon is not blue (i.e. from Origin).

Yup, that was it. I had discredited that earlier on because I thought that I had tried that but apparently I hadn't. Thanks for your help.
