When the ellipse to be projected and the sketch plane are parallel, the original code
by shermelin provided for a translation of the original ellipse, which would be the best solution
if it weren't because the Sketcher, internally, works under the assumption of a normal vector to the
sketcher plane being (0,0,1). If the original ellipse is parallel to the sketch plane, but the sketch
plane is not the XY plane, the copy and translation would result in a ellipse not in the XY plane of the
Sketcher. Then the sketcher internals will not properly consider its dimensions.
The solution applied here is to default to the general method for non-parallel planes.
It solves:

Users chennes and hyarion made me aware of this covereity issue:
Fixes Coverity: geoit can be end() when dereferenced
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/4429/files#
When analysing the block where the dereferrencing appears, it
appears that it is a left-over that no longer makes sense:
- The algorithm classifies block constraints into those that are
not affected by any other driving constraint and those that are
affected by other driving constraints.
- The offending block deals with internal aligned geometry, thus
per definition has a driving internal alignment constraint, for which
the previous block already set the need of post-analysis.
- No matter what, the geometries, the complex one and the internal one
will have at least the driving internal alignment constraint, so they
cannot become "not affected by any other driving constraint".
- If the geometry had a block constraint on it, it was already added for
post-analysis in the previous block. If it did not have one block constraint,
the fact that it is internal aligned geometry is an irrelevant consideration.
Probably there was a point during development when this made sense, but with
the current post-analysis, it does not appear to make sense anymore. So the
block was removed.
This commit adds a unit test for blocked geometry (new block constraint).
Before the throughall distance was 10 m, which is not enough for
many applications. The fix is to use the bounding box of the base shape
together with the sketch profile to calculate dynamically a large enough
length.
* reimplement ViewProviderDimension::setupContextMenu() to show menu item to start editing it
* fix TaskDimension::accept() and TaskDimension::reject()
The ConsoleSingleton::Time() function is flagged by LGTM for using
two different unsafe time-related functions. It is not called anywhere
in the current codebase, and is not exposed in the Python API, so was
removed rather than being repaired.
For the What#s this feature we need to have a uniform naming of the features and its icons. For some PD icons this is not the case and since we are in feature freeze, this is the right time to address this.
(I see the same is already done for Mesh.)
LGTM points out that the construct use in the loop here "does
nothing" -- that is, it is a conditional whose result is never used.
It is apparently being used simply to ensure that the next() function is
called on each loop iteration, but because sequence may be null, it is
shoehorned into a trinary :? operator. To clarify the intent and ensure
that later readers (including LGTM) do not misunderstand it,
this code is broken out into a more standard conditional construct at
the end of each loop iteration.
