Cannot refund attribute nodes when having a circular path in the tree

Bug Report ID: #2588940812

I tried to re path my tree, by connecting the far end through a new path and then remove the old path to the far points. Unfortunately it is impossible to refund attribute nodes, that are not terminal nodes of the tree. Trying to refund them even though it would leave a legal path only opens the menu to change the attribute.

There is a workaround for this though it is quite annoying. you can refund your whole path or as much as necessary without confirming and then reassign the points you want to keep. You have to remember exactly which points had which attribute for this to work since it would otherwise count as a respec. when reassigning the points with the same attribute before confirming, the cost is reduced again by that point

I am in the same boat here, deliberately did a circular path so that I could unspec the initial path and now i'm stuck with both.
