bezier tool - smooth node bug (after creation, some are turned to cusp nodes)

Migrated from: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1666932

Steps to reproduce:

  • Open Inkscape
  • Take a bezier tool
  • Create the first point with curve handle (click+ drag )
  • Create the second point with smooth mode
  • Creat 3thid point without smooth node(corner point)
  • Take node tool and check geometry

What happened?

  • The second node is corner point with broken (unlinked) handles

  • This bug happens in multiple other situations (with corner node without any handles, a first node of the path, or last node of the path)

What should have happened?

  • Second node should be a smooth node

  • Smooth nodes should stay smooth
