(Get the code!)
Being a newbie, I just put some text along a red path (so I can see it), worked on my path, and later, when exporting the image, I changed the path's colour from red to transparent. Then I wanted to change that back and I simply couldn't.
After spending the best part of an hour searching around and reading this bug report's comments, Kjohrf mentioned "Shift+D on flowed text" and I could select my path again. Once I turned up the alpha, it was back to red. Oh the irony! Inkscape knew all along I wasn't done with this path.
Intuitively, I make a hierarchy with the object on top, different parameters beneath it, like shape and colour, and below that the different values, say RGBA.
I don't expect, nor am I warned, that changing only one value of the colour will alter other parameters of my object, like its 'clickability'. And since I can't change the alpha value back unless I can precisely select the object, well... it's a catch 22.
