Star tool resets to 2 corners after drawing the first star

Summary:

The Star tool misbehaves in Inkscape 1.4.x. It prefers rhombi, even if the user wants normal stars.

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape
  • switch to star tool
  • set number of tips to, e.g. 5
  • draw one star
  • draw one more

What happened?

The second one is a rhombus.

What should have happened?

It should have the same number of tips as the previous one.
