Beyond the Basics Inkscape 1.2 - Sometimes struggle to set color to center handle in radial gradient

    Hi.

    I find myself sometimes have this issue - having a rectangle where background fill is radial gradient, then often when I use the node tool to change the color on the innermost handle of the gradient, then it may fail in a couple of different ways:

    • Cannot select innermost handle of gradient.
    • Can select innermost handle of radial gradient, but attempt to change color fails and it is the outhermost handle that actually get to change color (i.e. oposite of what I want to achieve). It doesn't matter if I try to pick color from color bar at bottom or use the fll/stroke dialog directly.

    This was never an issue with the previous version, Inkscape 1.1.2 with it's own tool for gradient editing.

    It looks like it can be a bug, but the problem is I cannot consistently reproduce this behaviour. This leads to a couple of question:

    • Is there a bug repport on this, or similar issues ?
    • Any good ida of workaround when this happens ?

    Many of the packages listed is newer for your version, wonder if old packages is what's bugging me?

    Before proceeding further, I'd reset the preferences. https://inkscape.org/forums/questions/getting-back-to-square-one-and-starting-over-its-easy/
