Bug Description
When two nodes overlap they look smaller than a single node,
and when they are selected they disappear.
It seams to be caused by the nodes stroke color being the inverse of the color below it,
when two nodes overlap their stroke color cancel each other out.
It seams to happen when an even number of nodes are overlapping,
three overlapping nodes are displayed the same way as a single node.
When one selects two overlapping nodes,
both the stroke and the fill of the nodes almost cancel each other out.
If one puts a 50% gray background behind the two overlapping nodes,
then the node looks yellow with a very low opacity,
on a white or black background the node is pretty much invisible.
here's an image with the different states and background colors
of single and two overlapping nodes.
