I have been frustrated many times by creating a complex or lengthy sketch to reshape a feature or cut a polygon and end up inadvertently snapping to the wrong vertex to complete the sketch or double clicking accidently and ending the sketch too soon only to see the dreaded dialog that says "The Reshape task could not be completed" and my sketch disappears. Or the same thing for “The Cut Polygon task could not be completed”.
I don’t think it would be too difficult to change those dialogs to ask if you would like to modify the sketch with yes and no buttons. If you click yes, the sketch is still there and you can modify it to snap to the correct vertex, or continue with the sketch if you double clicked by accident.
Thank you for posting your idea and lending your support to this enhancement. I uploaded a sample tool that demonstrates this functionality for the Cut Polygon tool. What the tool does is if you attempt to cut a polygon and it fails for whatever reason you recieve the error message and the option to continue your sketch. Currently it only works with one selected polygon and I don't have anything for Reshape Feature, but the source code is out there and I would encourage anyone else out there who is interested to take a stab at enhancing it for these functions to take a stab at it.
