 I think the only problem here is that the node tool doesn't keep the
 feature
 currently beeing edited on deactivation.

 It's ok that the markers disappear, when another tool is activated or the
 layer
 is changed, but they should reappear when the node tool is activated
 again.

 "Zoom in", "Zoom out", "Pan Map" and "Select features" are activated
 (change
 what happens when you click on the canvas) and therefore deactivate the
 node
 tool.  In that case the node tool markers should disappear.

 "Zoom full", "Zoom to layer", "Zoom to selection", "Zoom last" and "Zoom
 next"
 just change the window and leave the activated node tool untouched and
 hence
 don't make the markers disappear.

 I can't reproduce that the node tool markers don't disappear on selected
 items
 (which would be a bug).  QGIS is probably set to "show vertex markers only
 for
 selected features" in Options/Digitizing and therefore just the vertex
 markers
 don't disappear (which isn't a bug).
