Difficulty quickly editing a node handle
-
I'm having consistent difficulty quickly editing a node handle. I often have to click on it and drag several times before it engages. This video shows my repeated attempts to get a node to move when I click and drag on it - after several attempts, it eventually works

@Boldline I will try to increase the sensitivity region of the handles. When moving the cursor over a handle (blue dot) it should change to a grey-blue and somewhat larger dot. That is when it can be grabbed.

You may have already have been fixing this but wanted to append more thoughts to the topic if it helps. I'm sure you're aware of this already but I wanted to be thorough and over-share if necessary, just in case.
There seems to have been a change for sure between build 25 and 26 when it comes to node and handle editing and selection. I understand the node begins with a blue dot and then changes color when selected - that process is now often hard to initiate, and when you do initiate it, it does not happen quickly anymore. In this video you can see the struggle to get a node to select or a handle to select, even when I drag a selection on it. Often when I double click on a node handle to retract it, the selection instead just goes away and the handle remains un-retracted.
The process of grabbing nodes and handles quickly is crucial to doing work efficiently. Editing vectors can be a time consuming thing!
I know you know all this already and I know the next build will have a rollback or fix... this being a crucial part of what I do, I wanted to be sure it was covered fully. Right now this regression has made it really hard to edit projects at all.UPDATE: I ended up restarting VS to see if it would run any better and if the issues selecting nodes and handles was improved. Shutting down VS properly - leads to a long pause where it seems to freeze up and then eventually quits and gives me the crash error. Restarting VS improves the node and handle selection process a little better than the video shows in this post above, but not a lot

@Boldline When hovering over a node, it should change its color and size (unless that was customized).
This would indicate if the node will be selected and grabbed when clicked.There could be some kind of "aging" bug that causes issues with the editor in general.
