Inkscape 0.48.1 r9760 on Xubuntu 11.04 64bit (standard version from the repositories)

By working through the "Inkscape: Advanced" tutorial I found the following issue:

When trying to pull out a retracted handle on a node in a bezier curve the handle appears close to the node but Inkscape becomes unresponsive, not reacting to any clicks or shortcuts. It still pops up a dialog whether to save the current document when trying to close the window, but the buttons in this dialog are also inactive. One has to forcefully kill it from htop or the like.

Steps to reproduce:
1) draw or select an arbitrary bezier curve
2) retract the handles of a node by Ctrl+clicking on them
3) try to pull the handles out again by Shift+dragging from the node
