Hi Steve,

It does seem that the behavior in the current version has changed. Now ipe 
seems to prevent the "centre" point going out to infinity when the other two 
points are made horizontal. While this solution can result in an arc line that 
does not connect the two arc points (the line arcs away from one because the 
centre point is left at the last valid finite coordinate), this is certainly 
preferable to the previous behavior. So I'd say this is closed.

Thanks,
Brendon
