Hey so I'm not sure it's supposed to do this. When using the Contour Tool, at a certain point unintended line fragments and geometry spawns inside of the new outline being created by the Countour Tool. See video.
Application: Designer
Using version 2.5.3
Is reproducible: yes
Happens for a new document: yes
Happens with both hardware acceleration on and off: yes
What happened:
I created a little squiggly blob shape using the Pen Tool. I then selected the Contour Tool, and upon scaling to a certain size, strange small line fragments and other odd unintended geometry began to appear. I also tried this with a square and had the same result, though the artifacts and unintended geometry was diamond shaped.
Recipe:
1: Make a blob or other shape with Pen Tool.
2: Use the Contour Tool and scale it up until strange geometry and/or lines begin crawling out of the void like some sort of occult hidden mathematics.
And that's it. I'm a new user and this was the first thing I tried to do in Designer, so I recognize I might be making a big deal about nothing, but I did notice that this could occur within ranges of reasonable use of the Contour Tool, like making an aura for a serpent, for example, and wanted to report it.
Video attached.
Unusual hardware:
I have a midi keyboard plugged in but I doubt that impact this. Also as I'm working on a desktop I have two monitors but again, I don't think that's the cause.
Did this same thing used to work and if so have I changed anything recently?
No I just bought and installed this today. First thing I did in this program ever.
