Scissors tool should be aware of stroke width profiles and brush tool data.
At present, if you use the Scissors tool on a path with a width profile, the resulting paths will both inherit the entire width profile. This always feels wrong; I would much prefer that the resulting paths had new width profiles that match the original look of the path.

Width tool messes up the width points when a path is extended / shortened / cut

Margaret, just so you know — AG Trim & Join CAN respect width profiles, so cutting a path in two with is doable, although takes one extra step (here I am pasting a copy and hide the already cut piece).

I just searched for this sort of topic three years later and want to add: Really this should be *every* tool that cuts and abuses paths.
