Gradient editing tool: after creating a new gradient, the last stop is selected, and adding a new stop doesn't work
Migrated from: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1097513 (Interestingly, with Priority: Medium)
Steps to reproduce:
- open Inkscape
- create a shape
- activate gradient tool
- draw a new gradient on the shape
- click the "Add stop" button
What happened?
Nothing, because the last stop is selected.
What should have happened?
A stop should be added at 50%.
There are two ways to fix this bug:
- After a new gradient is created, the first stop is selected
- When clicking
Add stop
while the last stop is selected, the operation should be performed as if the second-to-last stop was active.
Personally, I'd prefer the second option.
