Comment 3 for bug 515237

I can sometimes reproduce the issue without using rotate by just using the arrow scale at the corner of the bounding box. I was concerned that the shape was small so a rounding error may happen on small shapes. By changing the toolbars control bar to show % size then changing a couple of times to 200% the shape was increased in size and there was still six nodes. That gave the same shape with six nodes but a larger size. The xml did not list any nodes using scientific notation "1e-4" style. With the larger shape the scale arrow was used and sometimes the status bar would list the shape as having seven nodes.

The original issue is also reproducible when the rotation is clockwise. The original rotation was counter clockwise. I was not able to reproduce this issue using a rectangle or a star with 20 points converted to paths. Could the issue have something to do with the shape itself? At one of the points the path goes, I'm not sure this is the correct wording, concave. If that point is deleted the status bar indicates the shape still has six nodes (one removed but the end point added.)
