Here is the test curve svg - the first curve I created. Try for yourself, there is no lying (obviously - why on Earth would there be?) and the results are the results I showed.

And what exactly is the point of you trying Affinity Designer 1.7 when we've acknowledged the problem and I clearly labelled the results I showed as being from Affinity Designer 1.8 Beta.
Many thanks for your input,

Hey Larry. We use Designer alongside Adobe suite. For precise logos and technical illustration, we use AI with Astute Graphics plugs to avoid the issues discussed in this thread.
For more whimsical illustrations and for final finesse and layout I already prefer Designer, Photo and Publisher.  The toolsets are so well integrated. Plus, Designer supports copy and paste from AI.
Affinity suite is still at 1.x. These things take time, particularly for a smaller company with limited resources.  Prioritizing Publisher will likely keep the lights on for the foreseeable future and let them focus on resolving these issues.
