<![CDATA[Smooth corners and handle behavior]]>Hi there,

I have a couple questions regarding point behavior:

  1. Why are there smooth corner (square) points? This only seems to yield outline errors in the UI or unusual handle generation upon opt-click-drag.

  2. Why does option-clicking or dragging on a segment sometimes also affect (and sometimes only affect) the adjacent segment?

Attached image to help visualize what I'm talking about.

TIA,
Ryan

  • corner points (line/line) cannot be smooth
  • dragging a straight segment creates handles only in that segment

thanks for the bug report!
