Comment 10 for bug 1235504

@Markus - the current behavior (r12670 without or with the latest patch 'ellipse-bb.patch') has some inconsistency with regard to (mid-)markers which does not match what I would expected based on that the quote from the mailing list:

Revision <= 12593 and earlier: a circle rendered with 4 mid-markers, and did so after converting to path, too. Node-editing the converted path (usually) did not change the number of mid-nodes nor the number of mid-nodes rendered with mid-markers.

Revision >= 12594: a circle renders with 1 mid-marker, and after converting to path renders with 8 or 16 mid-markers (not sure what triggers that difference). The node count does not increase when node-editing the converted path, and there are no nodes shown which don't have a mid-marker.

Reivsion 12670+patch: a circle renders with 4 mid-markers, and does so initially after converting to path (though the node tool displays additional nodes which are not using a mid-marker). After node-editing a single node of the converted circle, the number of nodes with mid-markers suddenly jumps to 8 or 12 (maybe more - does that depend on the size of the circle?).
