Beginners' Questions How to drag a cusp node?

    Hi, this should be insanely simply, but I'm unable to drag a cusp node with the mouse.

    I was hoping to have the same experience as Video 3 in this tutorial https://www.tutorviacomputer.com/inkscape/node-tool-and-paths/

    When I try to drag a cusp node (at the terminal of a line segment), Inkscape instead extends the line segment and introduces a new handle.

    I guess the solution is trivial but Google doesn't help - how do I move a cusp node?

    Just click+drag immediately. A double-click or 2 clicks will introduce a new node.

    Not sure why but it finally started working after posting this message (perhaps that fixed it).

    Was a frustrating 45 mins though.
