When I draw a vertical Line on top of another Line I don’t get any end point which I can snap to. An Edit point isn’t even visible when I activate PointsOn (see red ring). But drawing the line horizontally doesn’t have this problem (see green ring):
And… if I extrude a horizontal Line upwards, I get the following strange visual representation (black boundary on top when selecting the extruded surface):
Do you have a clipping plane in the file? Or maybe the model extents is very large and you are seeing some view frustum clipping? Couple of things to check maybe…
This is really embarassing but I just discovered the cause of this: A hidden (do I dare say?) … clipping plane! (cutting off just below the top of the geometry)
