Whether drawing can be continued when the application window becomes inactive while drawing a polyline/polygon

Hello all,

PDF-XChange Editor and other PDF applications behave differently when another application's window becomes active while a polyline or polygon comment is being drawn.

PDF-XChange Editor cancels all previous drawings, while Acorbat Reader and Drawboard PDF do not, and can continue drawing when the window becomes active again.

Considering that some applications suddenly become active regardless of the user's intention, it might be more helpful to users to be able to continue drawing without cancellation, as is the case with Acrobat Reader and Drawboard PDF.

In the verification video, the positions indicated by 1 through 12 in the following figure are clicked in sequence.
