Make first vertex created through Dupli-Extrude active
When an active vertex is extruded through the dupli-extrude operator by ctrl-clicking, the created vertex is not made active.
Operators relying on a vertex being active will not work after having created a line from scratch by ctrl-clicking (this is the case of the select shortest path operator).
Making the first vertex created by ctrl-click active would solve this problem.
I submitted a patch "fixing" this : developer.blender.org/D6303

Why wouldn't the most recently created vertex be the active one? If you're extruding a chain of vertices (as one frequently does with <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+click), you need the most recently created vertex to be active so you can extrude from it.
* @Jason van Gumster * It is exactly what I am proposing but my description might be misleading. It is not about keeping the first created vertex active.
What I actually meant is that currently when starting with an empty mesh, the first
CTRL+clickdoes not activate the created vertex. My proposal is just to make it active. :)* @Frank Bessou * Ah. I see.
