Hi,
In updating my book, I've done a comprehensive test of the node tool. Here is a list of regressions I've found (a couple where reported earlier today).
1. Clicking on the background with a node selected deselects the path rather than the node.
2. Page Up/Down no longer adds/removes nodes when cursor is hovered over a selected node (mouse wheel still works).
3. Node selection via mouse wheel swaps with/without Shift key functionality (spatial distance vs. distance along path).
4. Shift no longer prevents grabbing the path when doing a rubber-band selection of nodes.
5. Shift no longer disables snapping of nodes while dragging nodes.
6. Space bar no longer drops a copy of the nodes while dragging.
7. . or > expands only one handle rather than both, while Right-Ctrl . or > expands both. Ditto with Alt (rotating handles is correct with respect to Left/Right Ctrl/Alt keys).
8. Node-sculpting pressure sensitivity with tablet lost.
Are all these bugs or are some feature changes?
