Thanks. That's been fixed for the next release.

You can click them to swap the arrows (inside/outside). This is an experimental feature of the snapshot release.

After posting, I looked at the property editor and found that feature, that worked within the editor but not with the mouse either :D

I cannot reproduce this here. Be sure to click the reference points (not drag them). If you cannot get it to work: what platform are you on?

Got it, it works.
I first tried to play with those circles like the the square handle! (I'm on Win7-64)

I run in the same problem like J-J but now I understood how it works. I'm on Win10/64.

Question: If I tricker the flip with the mouse it flips both arrows. Single arrow flip with the mouse isn't possible, correct?
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro

Correct. Both arrows pointing the same way is almost never desirable but can be done using the property editor.
