Pressing hotkeys while drawing shapes can freeze the Dia GUI

Description
It is very easy to reproduce:
-
Select the 'Ellipse' drawing tool (or press the E key)
-
Starting drawing an Ellipse by pressing the Left Mouse button, but don't release the Left Mouse button yet
-
Select the Arc drawing tool by pressing the A key using the keyboard (while keeping the mouse button pressed!)
now the GUI becomes unresponsive and locks up. There seems no interaction possible anymore, except for killing the program using the task manager.

By the way, it seems it is not specific to Ellipse or Arc, they are just examples.
