Esc key does not cancel dragging anymore

[Svarov-RZM]

Description

In Synfig 1.0.2 if you started dragging any handle in work area (vertex, tangent, etc.) you could cancel the operation by hitting 'Esc' key. I use it quite a lot because often you can accidentally hit another handle if there are bunch near.

To reproduce

• Create an outline
• Start dragging any handle
• Try to cancel the operation (dragging) by hitting 'Esc' key

Expected behavior

After hitting 'Esc', the handle must return to its original position without causing any action/rendering. Now if you made a mistake, you have to release the mouse key, wait for render to finish, hit CTRL+Z and wait again for render which is annoying if the work is complex and takes time to render.

Tested on Windows 10, latest Synfig 1.3.12. Maybe issue is related to the fact that CTRL+V now works for text fields? Just a guess though.

Hello there! The feature appears to work correctly for me, can you make a gif out of a demo and share with us?

@gkan30 You can watch the video here: https://1drv.ms/v/s!Aqn9-DWzZKfcgVGGxf0t4bEhtOe1?e=y9WdSu Does someone else with Windows 10 experience this bug? Maybe something wrong with my system...

It still works in 1.3.11.

@rodolforg I have the same behavior described by @Svarov-RZM using Windows 10 v1809 while using SynfigStudio-1.3.12-testing-2020.01.30-win64-8b3a3 from https://www.fosshub.com/Synfig-Development.html

Pressing ESC key does NOT "cancel" the spline control point drag operation.

@Jose-Moreno I'll bibisect it to find out when it was broken.

As spacebar is now used for Play, what about revert this commit 6b3c81c ?
