Freeze when changing node type - power stroke LPE

Summary:

Node tool to modify path with Triangle out cause Inkscape to not respond (freeze)

When Inkscape freeze this way, there are no recovery document made - so any work since last time document was saved get lost.

Steps to reproduce the freeze (or see YT video clips in link below):

New document (A4 is my template)

  • Pen Tool
  • first choose "Triangle Out" from dropdown in toolbar
  • crate path with sharp 3 nodes
  • select middle point with node tool
  • change tipe to smooth

What happened?

unrecoverable freez

What should have happened?

node should be changed to smooth and inkscape not freez

Short video demonstrations:

I'd made a couple of short video clips that demonstrate the issue. This is captured by Obs studio and the program freeze is indicated by the mouse pointer disappear (there is a ~2 sec delay, when the mouse pointer disappearing, the freeze has already be going on for some seconds)
