OK, here is what I discovered.
If you draw a circle and the end point overlaps the
start point, then it won't draw a circle for you. But
if you draw your circle so that the end point abuts to
the start point, it will draw your circle for you.
Just do not overlap or otherwise cross the starting
point, nor stop prior to attaining the location of the
start point and you should be able to get a circle.
