Fill not lining up with path

Summary:

I have a closed path where I an trying to move nodes around. When I move the node the fill does not line up with the path. I have to continue moving the node around until the fill finally lines up with the path. Attached is a animated gif of my issue. This happens often.

You can see in this example I did not click off of the node after each move but that does not change the results. If I click off the node it will adjust the path to match the preview and fill as represented in the preview.

In this example I did have snapping disabled.

In this second example, you can see the fill does not line up with the path, once I click off of the node the path will change to match the preview of the fill. The node moves to match the fill.

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape
  • new document
  • add a closed path with Bezier curve
  • disable snapping to make sure snapping is not effecting fill preview or node movement, but does not effect issue either way.
  • set fill to a solid color, set stroke to none
  • zoom in all the way (issue seems to start at 9000% or greater)
  • move a node

What happened?

Fill preview will not always line up with the moved node If you click off on the node, when the fill does not preview correctly, the node will move to match the preview. If you continue to move the node around the fill preview will eventually line up with the path

What should have happened?

Fill preview should always match the path.

in this example moving one node greatly effects paths in multiple areas. If I click off the node, the fill and nodes will adjust to fit the preview. https://i.imgur.com/MY2SE53.png

after clicked off node, nodes moved to fit preview https://i.imgur.com/AGkpuFX.png
