Comment 87 for bug 187290

I can confirm a quirk but no error messages. I am not sure if the quirk is an error. In many of the releases, Inkscape 0.46+devel r20887 built Mar 12 2009 to Inkscape 0.46+devel r20921 built Mar 16 2009, the is a Create Bezier curve as a Spiro path. When a spiro bezier curve is created then extensions such as Modify Path->Add Nodes are run there is no change to the path and no error message is produced. If the path is selected then Path->Path Effects -> Remove Path Effects is done then the Add Nodes is done there will be new nodes added. The same lack of change occurs with Modify Path -> Jitter nodes until the Remove Path Effects is run.

Should Modify Path work on Bezier curves if they have a path effect?

When clicking on Help->Inkscape Manual a message window pops up quickly to say something like "Working" then a large black window (Dos/python?) opens and closes quickly but no manual shows up. The already open browser windows do not show a manual.

If this is situation JazzyNico is writing about then in my opinion a new bug report should be opened and this one should be closed because this situation does not seem like the original bug situation.
