There were too many points on the curve. If one clicks on sharp bends and then 
on smooth bends you get a lot of points. Not sure why I never tried reset, 
since that only gives me three points which I can handle a lot better. I also 
found that one can get rid of points by moving them outside the histogram – 
which is not too obvious in my opinion.

So I would opt for less points (3 on the curve and one at each end) as default 
since adding points by clicking is more obvious than removing them by dragging 
them outside the histogram. Start less-complex. :)

Thanks for the hints!
