I don't know if it's just my computer or a bug in Xara but if I attempt to alter nodes in a line with a brush applied I often get unpredicable results, which can often be interesting but uncontrolable. I attach an image showing the way the bug has altered the size of certain elements of the brush after I've attempted some node editing. (The cut out ring is the original brush) I have'nt downloaded the latest patch yet (still using v1.0c).
