How can I prevent the ‘Path/Simplify’ operation starting immediately, before I can access the Simplify options window? Every time I use ‘Path/Simpliify, I am unable to access the options window, because the Simpllify operation always starts immediately.

    see image below. I started with 16 anchors.

    after clicking on Path/Simplify, immediately goes down to 9 anchors. Click on the “gear” icon to bring up the options dialog (img 2) then immediately press Esc key or click Cancel to dismiss it. It goes back to 16 anchors.
