      Draw a simple shape with the pen tool. Attempting to close the curve by clicking the start node, holding button pressed and then dragging to make a curved line and this happens. Happened to me many times when hand tracing.

        This is what I am trying to do:

        Pssst: Note the elegant little cross, visual feedback, that indicates that clicking here will close the curve.

          @Ingolf I think it just has to not be clunky.... elegant and subtle
          Instead of a cross it could be a small faint circle for example

            A faint outline could work, yes.

                  Any luck with the closing curve affecting (removing) the second node created? 🙂 Happens in some scenarios and not others, but I see it very often.

                    @Ingolf I cannot replicate this in the latest build. I keep the issue open.

                      Last GIF was from latest build on Windows 10. This one is from macOS just now:

                        @Ingolf and @vectoradmin Replicated here also: https://recordit.co/SWgGkp0Qss

                        If you click-and-drag when creating the last node before closing the path, the first two segments get collapsed into one segment.
