<![CDATA[Bezier handle question]]>Sorry for the newby questions, but I've tried in vain to find an answer in the documentation. I have a shape that at a certain angle one of the Bezier handles turns blue. I understand what that means when it is on a line segment, but not on a Bezier handle. ?

outline errors (preference)

but @rabeu1 refers to outline errors being highlighted in handles – how can that happen?

this can happen when something else has edited contour data – the editing tool has no support for detecting and re-calculating smooth points.
