[cairo] Real-time ellipse creation - invalid matrix (not invertible) exception

[Maximilian Heinzler]

I think the problem appears if the mouse is the same position as the initial click. This would cause a cr->scale(0, 0), which results in an invalid matrix. So just do a little check before this drawing operation or set a minimum size for the ellipse.

That would cause the stroke to be scaled with the arc, which would
create an undesired thick line around it.

The problem lies in the arc's scale operation. Whenever it goes from
positive to negative, it sometimes result in an invalid matrix. If the
mouse is moved fast enough though, it doesn't create an exception...
this confuses me more or less.

Thanks for your suggestion though, I really do appreciate it.
