Bug Description

Summary: Creating a bezier curve with the standard tool and the "Spiro Splines Mode" enabled results in a path that is not editable. Nodes move fine with the node tool, but grabbing the actual curve does nothing. With path outlines enabled, you can see where the path should go, but the actual stroke fails to move.

Version: SVN 19097

Platform: Ubuntu 8.04 amd64

Frequency: Always ( 5 / 5 trials for manifestations )

Reproduction: Create a bezier curve with the spire toggle button. Attempt to edit.

This is by design. In a spiro, the path is completely defined by the position of nodes, so dragging the curve without moving nodes is impossible in principle. What we need to do, however, is just disable curve dragging in Node tool when editing spiros.
