Handles when importing Inkscape SVG (solved)

[judge]

When I import an Inkscape SVG I can see the handles on the imported drawing, like this:

I convert it to a sketch, and the sketch looks fine, like any other b-spline curve:

When I pad it in the part design workbench, it is drawn with really thick lines. Not shown here, but if there are any other parts in the the same body, they are suddenly drawn with really thick lines too.

What is going on here? I looked back at a previous test part I made that also imported an Inkscape SVG. If I look really closely, I can see that it too has the handles being drawn, they are just really small.

I've attached the SVG I am trying to import. This is the version of FreeCAD I am using:

To answer my own question, it is these preferences (I swear I didn't change them!). Here I have set them to 2px. They were 9px for line width and 5px for Vertex size. The 9px line width wasn't applied until I did the pad, but the Vertex size was applied when I imported the SVG.

Also, I discovered I could change them for individual objects by right-clicking and selecting appearance - at least if you are in the Part Design or Draft workbenches.
