Path Effects default parameter not updated

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape, draw a bezier curve using a shape, eg. ellipse
  • open the Path Effects dialog and change the width, eg. 1.000
  • update the width parameter in "Set default parameter"
  • draw a new bezier curve

What happened?

  • the new curve has the old default parameter width value

What should have happened?

  • the new curve should have the updated default parameter width

Workaround: if I change the curve width with the node tool then yes the "default width" is updated, anyway this workaround it's not convenient for a precision drawing.
