This makes edit mode ellipses look less "angular".

I think I would rather this be a variable. There are legitimate performance reasons to not want ellipses to be highly detailed as there can be large amounts of them if you select a lot of entities.

Thanks for this, and sorry for the long wait! This is now merged into master (b4a7bcc), with two follow-up changes:

• The side count is a setting. particleellipsesides (3 to 360) controls how many sides ellipses are drawn with. It defaults to 15, the previous count, because selecting many entities in edit mode draws many ellipses and more sides cost performance. Mappers who want smoother outlines can raise it, e.g. to the 40 you proposed.
• Ellipses close for any side count. The angle step was 360/sides in integer division, so counts that don't divide 360 left a gap (that was the "breaks if set too high" behaviour). Each angle is now i*360/sides, which always ends at 360.
