Curve tool result doesn't match what you draw

I would like to draw a simple curved line, but when I use this tool, the curve that I see when I'm drawing is quite different from what the final product is.  I understand having a proper bezier curve like Illustrator might be too much to ask, but even the PowerPoint curve tool is 100% better than the one in Storyline.

It would be handy to have a more usable curve tool in Storyline so I can use built-in formatting. It's a pain to create curves in another program and import them as images.

    This is what the curve tool looks like still in 2024, more than seven years after I reported this, and 4 years after staff claimed that it had 'resurfaced', but they have not been able to tell me which version it was allegedly fixed in. I'm creating curves in powerpoint or illustrator then copying them in as svgs which doesn't allow me to adjust their thickness or colour, so I estimate that it takes me about 5 times as long as it would if they would just fix the tool.
