Linear pattern - cannot select reference

[jj-uk]

To reproduce:

Part design:
Create a body - create a sketch - XY plane.
Create a rectangle, close sketch and pad.

Select the end of the rectangle pad, sketch on face.

Bring in geometry, Add a rectangle to the side, pad.

Select pad, linear pattern, select reference, select edge of 1st pad. Nothing happens.

This works ok in freecad 0.20, but not in daily or stable.

That is absolutely true!

This prevented me from getting my job done today!

Thanks in advance

@realthunder ran into the same issue today, is there any workaround for this ? seems to work fine in Freecad 0.21.2

[jbayless]

@hobbymachinist I have written a very, very bodged workaround here on this duplicate of the issue: #710

[hobbymachinist]

Yikes, that's a gnarly workaround. I'm going to switch back to using Freecad 0.21.2 for now.
