Bug Description
So far only reproduced in Inkscape 0.92.1, but not in 0.91.
1. Draw something. The issue seems to be more easily exposed when there's an ellipse in the drawing, but other paths seem to work, too.
2. Switch to Bézier tool, select triangle in or triangle out drawing mode.
3. Click a couple of times into the drawing, and finish the path. If nothing strange happens, repeat a couple of times.
4. Find that with each additional click, parts of objects will not be rendered anymore. Drawing over the other objects results in rectangular white areas being added.
5. All objects are gone. Also not visible in outline mode. Ctrl+A still selects them and draws empty bounding boxes.
6. This persists after saving / closing the file. Opening the file in Inkscape 0.91 also only shows an empty page.
7. In a web browser, everything looks fine, only the lpe path is missing.
8. There are lots of really strange coordinate numbers in the LPE path.
Attached is a zip with a file before / after this.
Haven't tested with trunk or the stable devel version, so this could be fixed already.
I don't need an ellipse to make this happen. Screenshot with one object drawn in new blank file. You can't see the mouse pointer. But the Pen tool is still enabled when I made the image.
(No, it's not a transparency issue - at least not through all the usual means. But this bug seems to introduce it.)
No other Inkscape files or instances are open when this happens.
Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit, Inkscape 0.92.1, 64-bit, exe installer Let me know if you need further info or files.
Other tid-bits.
It's not just the sudden imposition of transparency. It's rather like that wacko behavior with spiro splines, if you drag nodes too close to each other. But as you can see in the screenshot, it's not in spiro spline mode.
I haven't seen such elaborate scribbles as in the spiro spline bug. But it does make simple erratic marks, sometimes huge (100,000.00 px long, e.g.)
Note that I see that happens when I first finish drawing the path. As soon as I drag the pink node, everything goes back to normal. Whoops! Check that. Mostly back to normal - transparency is gone. But if you drag the pink node around, there seems to be a certain point where it creates the wild, strange marks. Still not as extensive as spiro spline bug - just 1 or 2 lines, straight lines usually - but just as strange!
