a) Gradient Editor (deprecated): reproduced when adding a gradient stop in the gradient editor dialog (independent of tool context)
b) Gradient Tool: not reproduced when using the newer gradient tool (keyboard shortcut 'g') to edit the gradient on canvas.

Unclear - adjusting a node of the path or a stop of the gradient?

Not reproduced:
a) Gradient Editor (deprecated): changing the position of a gradient stop in the gradient editor dialog keeps that stop active and affected when changing the stop color using the color sliders in the same dialog.
b) Gradient Tool: changing the color of a selected gradient stop on-canvas always works as expected, independent from having dragged its position or not.

Unclear - selecting a gradient stop in the (deprecated) Gradient Editor is not reflected by the selection of the corresponding gradient stop on-canvas and vice-versa?
