No arc option in the circle tool

I want to draw an arc, but when I select the arc/circle tool, the only option I am given is circle? When I look in the geometry method area and click the arrow next to the arc/circle tool, nothing happens, Im not given any options..?

You have to hold the mouse button for a short while rather than just clicking to get the pop-out.

However the circle/centre method is the one you want (unless you do want a 3 point arc).
The first click is the centre.
The second click is the radius and start of the arc.
The third click is the direction and length of the arc.
Click again on the arc start to get a full circle (i.e. click the centre then double click the radius for a full circle).
