ESNAP and STRACK ignores the starting point in the Line/Pline you are drawing

If you turn on ESNAP and STRACK I expect the snap and tracking to use the start point of a line when we are about to draw the next point. As far as I can see, this is not the case, it seems like the starting point is ignored. As soon as the first segment is drawn, STRACK works very fine from the second point. I notice that AutoCAD LT 2006 has the same behavior, you can not snap to the first point of the line you are drawing, even if you enter a point filter like ".X". But LT has "Polar" that works from the first point in a new object.Anyone has a simple workaround for this?For now, I hit the "Angle" option or "F8" to make the first segment in a desired angle or orthogonal.
