[Inkscape-devel] Re Path Splitting?

OK. 1. Open Inkscape. 2. Draw a short Freehand path. 3. Choose one of middle nodes. 4a. Break path at selected node or 4b. Split path between two non end-point nodes.

Intuitively I would think that the result should be two or more separate paths? However, the result seems to be two or more sub-paths within the original path. Is this a bug or is it meant to behave like this? If it is meant then how do I get the sub-paths to be separate?

Probably a simple explanation so I'd like to hear it.

Forgot to mention I'm using Win2K and build 1:14 of 22 March.
