Select in timeline or properties doesn't replace path node as target for delete

Friction is great - thanks for all the work.

V1.0.0-rc.3

Selecting an object in the timeline or properties doesn't replace a selected path node as the target for a delete.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Draw a straight path
2. Draw a curved path
3. Move a node on the curved path
4. Select the straight path by clicking it on the timeline or in properties (selection change is shown on the canvas, properties and timeline)
5. Press delete. Moved path node is deleted rather than the selected straight line

More information:

• you can lock the curved line after step 3, and the node is still deleted
• selecting the straight line by clicking it on the canvas works as expected - the straight line is deleted

• selecting the straight line by clicking it on the canvas works as expected - the straight line is deleted

Which tool did you use to select the path on the canvas? Point or Object mode?

Which tool do you have active when selecting the straight path in timeline or properties?

I have observed a difference in behaviors depending on the active tool, in my own projects. I haven't yet tried to recreate these steps, but it tracks with previous experiences I've had.

At step 3 it is point mode - I move a specific node on the path. The next click (step 4) is on the other object in the timeline panel or properties panel, so still point mode in the tools. Visually on the canvas, properties and timeline the other object is selected, but pressing delete removes the moved node from the object which doesn't seem to be selected.

The problem doesn't occur if the select in step 4 is done on the canvas (in point mode or object mode)

I just tested it and can confirm.

It only occurs when using the point mode + selecting a node from the curved path.
If no nodes are active or selected on the curved path, selecting the straight path from the timeline or properties and deleting will result in the deletion of the straight path.
