Re: Tangential arc between two circles
In your arc drawing code, ang2 is very close to zero in one case, and close
to 360 in the other case. You should somehow explicitly resolve the
ambiguity about how to draw the arc between two points, as there are always
two options.

I have this weird behaviour of flipping the angles.
I've not yet been able to pin-point where the issue is?

Something to check against a recent snapshot.

Ah, just downloaded the Jan 2021 version
Remove true from line number 9,10,17,18
Then there is no error

Note that circle() does not take a Boolean, in 4 places. That now
generates warnings.
Also an extra comma
