oh, thank you so much for explaining that guys. Thought I was going mad not understanding how the function worked!
I made the half circle by subtracting a rectangle from a circle but didn't notice the resultant nodes were close to each other so will watch out for that happening in future. Am following a tutorial with a file originally created in Illustrator (that is the program the tutor is using but he didn't seem to have any issue cutting the shape). Do you think this is indeed a bug and should I be reporting it somewhere then or is this just inexperience on my part and I should be more careful how I cut in future?
Thanks again for solving this so quick, can get back to my tutorial now x

Hi,
Apologies if this is already explained somewhere but I have searched other posts and help to no avail.
New to Affinity Designer and not that much experience with vectors in general so hope this isn't too dumb a question but I can't understand why the subtract function is cutting my two shapes in a particular way. I have attached a file showing the two shapes and what happens when I subtract the crescent shape from the half circle - why does the new shape still contain the small line at the end of the half crescent and half moon?! I was expecting it to negatively cut away all that space to effectively leave the shape like my example C (it took me forever to work out how to just cut away that small section as I couldn't get the break curves function to work either for a bit ... think I have a steep learning curve ahead :-)).
Would be very grateful if anyone could take a moment out their day to explain the above to me.
Many thanks,
Ali
