How to connect Lines and arcs to closed form

The create-polyline-from-segments (og) function does not work properly.
If I apply it to the single line segments created with the polygon tool it works, but NOT when I try to connect segments that have been created independently.
Please help.

Please note that the segments have to be exactly connected. I.e. this tool does not close any gaps between entities.
Note also that the segments may not be polylines already (check with property editor). If you want to join multiple polylines, break them up first and rejoin as one.

I am aware of this and worked with the snap function. No gaps are visible.
Arcs are indicated as "arcs" in the property window. i have created a closed polyline built from a standard line and an arc today. And it did work.
In a different case it just doesn't, I redrew it severall times. Is it possible to sent this simple example to the Ribbonsoft support in order to check it?
Suggestion: for closed polylines it would be nice to have the area of the form in the properties window, rather tah redrawing it with the area measurement tool.
