Deleting Objects

I'm having a lot of trouble deleting straight lines. Double tapping only de-selects the line instead of bringing up the menu to delete like it does with closed shapes such as circles.

nvm, the problem seems to have fixed itself.

Just been having the same problem and had decided it was somehow not a possibility. With Dan's response here I'm wondering then if there's a reason for this? how do I avoid the problem?

You should be able to tap on the line the same way as any other object, perhaps it's just that the tolerance for those taps needs to be more forgiving?

thanks Dan.
I've played around a bit more and found that it may be an intermittent problem - although another possibility is that if the line begins as a curve and you have removed nodes its not so apparent (if you are unfamiliar with the interface) that you are in direct-select mode rather than select mode (the first tool options in the tool bar) - therefore tapping the line only allows you to delete a node not the entire object.
HOWEVER...
I still have a problem with Freeform crashing everytime I try to punch a section out of a poly - that is overlaying two objects and using the last tool option to create a doughnut.

anakowi: Does the crash occur every single time you use a boolean operation, no matter what shapes you're working on?

It was the case with any simple intersect 'doughnut'. HOWEVER the problem has gone away! All the functions are working really well now. I can pretty much max it out with multiple ops and there's no glitches.
I think the issue was with my iPad - it's since been rebooted a few times after culling out other some other apps.
