Bug Description

Mirror line handles of LPE mirror symmetry do not seem to snap to nodes of path.

Make a path (bézier tool), add LPE Mirror Symmetry, select node tool, activate "snap nodes, paths and handles" (with options paths, path intersections, cusp nodes, smooth nodes).
Drag the handles of the mirror line and try to make them snap to the path, they don't. (I get a faint message "handle to path" that appears at times, but it doesn't snap).

Inkscape 0.92.0+66~ubuntu16.04.1

Hi Bart, I try to explain:
The path you see is not a real path because is changed by the effect one so you can't snap with original paths of LPE because realy there isn't this path. Also you can't snap with the result of the LPE in the same item. Anyway you can snap to other paths -duplicating- if you need this snap.

Yes, I think so. First duplicate the path, then apply the LPE to the duplicate, and then snapping to the original is possible?

you can apply the LPE to the duplicate or to the original and snap into other.
