Bug Description

Binary package hint: inkscape

ESC key doesn't cancel the move action when moving a node using the Node Tool. Tested in the Inkscape version from the Ubuntu 11.04 repositories, which is version 0.48.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new bezier curve
2. Using the node tool click and drag one of the vertices
3. While still dragging the node press ESC hoping that the node returns to its initial position

Expected result:
The node returns to the initial position, canceling the move action

Actual result:
The move action isn't canceled and the node doesn't return to its initial position

I can confirm that in Inkscape 0.46 and 0.47 (old node tool), <esc> cancels a node drag and restores the prior location of the dragged node(s).
In Inkscape 0.48.0, 0.48.1 and current trunk (new node tool), <esc> doesn't cancel dragging a selection.

@Krzysztof - can you comment on this? Was it changed by design?

This appears to be a todo in the code ... // TODO add ESC keybinding as drag cancel

Tested on Ubuntu 11.10 and WIndows 7.

Patch tested and fix confirmed (same behavior as in the old node tool of 0.47):
- OS X Lion (64bit), GTK+/X11 2.24.8
- Mac OS X Leopard (32bit), GTK+/Quartz 2.24.8

When running Inkscape under X11 (XQuartz 2.6.3 (xorg-server 1.10.3)) , pressing escape still seems to somehow keep the mouse focus partially grabbed (I don't know how to properly describe it in technical terms): when using a trackpad (built-in) instead of an external mouse, an additional tap (~LMB click) is required after pressing <esc> before a new selection of nodes can be made, or the same selection dragged again. If the mouse pointer is moved outside of the Inkscape window before that additional tab occured, X11 gets confused and other X11-based application windows (xterm, another inkscape window) get randomly displaced as if they had been grabbed and are now dragged in the window manager context (until a tab on the trackpad occurs).

Inkscape 0.47 exposes the same behavior when cancelling a node drag.

When running Inkscape built with the Quartz backend of GTK+, an additional (second) tab on the trackpad is required to activate any other (native) application window after cancelling a node drag (normally, a single tab or click is sufficient) - no other side effects observed though.

Based on my tests, yes - AFAICT it restores the old and expected behavior of the node tool in prior releases.

Local tests have been done using Inkscape with keyboard and external mouse/internal trackpad (laptop) - maybe feedback by advanced tablet users testing this re-implemented feature would be useful? I don't know whether some might have mapped <esc> to a button(+modifier) of the tablet/pen (if that's possible at all)?

The patch looks unnecessarily intrusive. It is possible to fix this without requiring every type of control point to implement custom cancellation handling by simulating a drag event to the origin before ungrabbing. I am working on an improved fix.
