How to Deselect in node tool?



  • The Deselect command works as expected when using the Transform tool (the regular pointer), but is not working when using the Node tool.

    Have tried the 'Select > Deselect' menu command, the command-shift-A key shortcut and the 'Selection > Deselect' right-click menu.

    I would expect it to completely deselect the object/s, but it would also be ok if it first deselected any currently selected node/s, and a second use then deselected the whole object/s.

    Is there any preference that affects this?

    Clicking empty space works, but is not always possible if zoomed in and no empty space is visible.

    indeed, deselecting selected nodes, with the command "Deselect"
    does not work here either (win 10).

    A workaround I found in my trials
    is to click once with the left mouse button on your stroke/contour
    where no node is

    another, more curious solution i found
    is to use the "Reselect" command, works here

    Here is a video in which I show both possibilities

    @Raven I think this could be a bug with the Deselect command. Will be fixed ASAP.
