Right-click Erase function doesn't work on Spline

I have just noticed, that right-click erase function is not working on the Spline tool. It does work on any other tool - square, ellipse, etc., but not on Spline.
Is this a bug, or something that was not obviously easy to do? then I would like it as a feature request...
(TVP 11, Windows 7)
thanks

It's not a bug, I think the feature wasn't implented to spline. I move it to the to do list.

it would only work for the 3 point spline
the others need to be applied using Enter.
In all cases you can work the spline in erase mode to get the desired effect.

I have never needed this but you are right that it is inconsistent

It actually doesn't work in 3 point spline, and that's exactly what I need - we are working on cleanup and the style requires a lot of smooth curved lines, so 3 point spline is an amazing help. The only drawback is that it doesn't work in right-click-erase mode, so there is no immediate fast way to erase a mistake without changing tools.

Actually, it cannot work with any splines, since you must use LMB to create those. The problem is the same with circle tools.

To do list.

first I wrote, that 3 point spline doesn't require the LMB, but then realized, it does - for the second click. But the mechanics could be very simple - right click to start a 3 point-erase spline, and then click to finish it - to me it sounds absolutely intuitive behavior, and if it could be implemented that way, it would be awesome! :)
