      When using the stroke width tool, there are times when the handles are very close to the node and are difficult to grab. it appears the history panel logs each attempt but nothing seems to move. if I grab off to the side a little from the handle, it will move the handle as expected.

        i think grapping the Nodes a little from the outside is expected here.
        that is also what I´m used to

          @Subpath i appreciate your video. I had not considered pulling from straight one in front of the node like you did. My natural inflation was that I needed to make the cursor touch the width handle to pull it wider. My earlier testing found it works on either left or right side of the node being adjusted, but I had not tried in front of it like you did. Really when you focus on it, when the cursor gets anywhere near that node, the cursor icon changes to indicate it will pull the handle. No need to make contact directly. That in itself makes life easier. I feel better about it now

            @Boldline The cursor should be different when grabbing the outer / inner nodes.
            If you move the cursor just a bit away from the outline it should change to contain an arrow with a line, that is when the outer node is grabbed.
