Joining vector shapes - unexpected result

[pummelfee]

Hi,

i just wanted to join two vector shapes, but it seems not to work. Please see the screenshots...
I am a bit helpless since this is just a simple task and i can’t figure out what’s wrong.

Thank you!!

This must be a bug!! I hate to say it, but Affinity again makes it impossible to earn money. I am working now one hour on a task for that i can just charge 15 minutes.... 🤬

What method do you use to join the curves?
Maybe your Layers Panel gives a hint: it says "(Kurven)" which means there is more than 1 object in this layer.
The straight line in your result may indicate that there is a curve which was not closed before the merge.

Here it appears to work with two "(Curve)" layers as expected with geometry > add.

Ive just made this and it works… outline view shown

1. Created circles (no fill and a black 1.5mm stroke)
2. Created both lines with a black 1.5mm stroke
3. Selected all layers and expanded strokes
4. Used Layers > Geometry > Add
