Yes, while drawing a Bezier path the active part between the last drawn node and the mouse pointer is always red (while the path between completed nodes is always green). So if you're trying to draw a Bezier path on a red background its very hard to see it (impossible if the background color matches the help red path color). This means you're trying to draw but can't see what youre doing exactly.

It would maybe be useful to make the Bezier path change its color automatically according to the background over which its drawn. Its equivalent to the way the Selector arrows work (resize and rotate); if they're over blue bg - theyre yellow, if over red bg - theyre blue, if over green bg - theyre purple etc...
