1.8.4 Node tool problems.

[Steeps]

The node tool has changed in 1.8.4. When I click on a line to change a curve, the node at the end of the line changes from a sharp corner to a smooth corner. The example below shows the corner before I try to change curve and what happens when I click on the curve to change it. The corner makes an unexpected change to a smooth corner.

Hi Steeps,

This is not a bug.

The screenshot showing the before shows that what you think is a Sharp corner is actually a Smooth corner with really small bezier handles. Sharp nodes are square, where as Smooth nodes are round. I would suggest you first select the node you think is sharp and then click 'Convert to Sharp' on the Toolbar. You will see the node change to square and then manipulating that curve will no longer affect the other side of the node.
