Bug Description
Draw perfectly horizontal or vertical line and go to selection tool. Resize handles should appear. Now try to elongate that line using middle arrows (does not affect width change, just lenght). In 0.48 this works well, but in development version you just can't grab arrow. Taking about Inkscape 0.48+devel r12426 custom version of inkscape here.
For every other case I can use all handles as supposed to, but this two cases (line drawn at 0 and 90 degrees) are exceptions.
Severity of the regression depends on bounding box mode used:
- visual bbox: dragging a middle handle may be possible after zooming in very closely
- geom bbox: it is not possible to grab & drag such a middle handle at all, independent of zoom level
Not reproduced with Inkscape 0.48.4 and Inkscape 0.48+devel <= 12399 on OS X 10.7.5
Reproduced with Inkscape 0.48+devel >= r12400
Likely a regression introduced with recent refactoring of the selection handles in bazaar. launchpad. net/~inkscape. dev/inkscape/ trunk/revision/ 12400>

Note: on OS X, it works after having zoomed in close enough: apparently the distance between the selection handles in _screen_ pixels matters in recent trunk builds.
