Comment 3 for bug 276956

I'm new to Inkscape and am using the latest development version 0.48 r9716. I was frustrated to see that using the eraser to slice a calligraphy shape in two does not automatically break apart the shapes. I second the motion to implement that. Indeed, all of the original poster's requests are fine by me! My prioritized preference order would be 1, 2, 4, 3 - but 1 & 2 are definitely the big ones.
