You are messing up with shortcuts keyboard, instead of doing Ctrl+V, you're doing Ctrl+B (V and B are just beside on the keyboard)

This is the path tool
, and the "can't/forbidden" is you hit the Ctrl key while outside of a node (usually to close a path or use the node's legs) -> thus this cursor
Move tool Path tool (shortcut B, certainly B as Bézier)Repetitive and fast shorcuts on your keyboard can lead to mistake and call the path tool, just hit "M" to get back the move tool or when you Ctrl+V, check that you don't hit the B just beside....
