Pathfinder/Boolean issues and artefacts

[NemoThom]

Hey ! 
first of all a huge thanks to the whole team bringing such powerful tools to us

i noticed some issues with the pathfinder set:
in some (a lot) of situations, successive pathfinder bring some weird and useless geometry.

it's as if pathfinder tools were not that accurate 😬

i attached some pictures of a simple way to replicate those:

1- drawing a few overlapping circles

2- dividing the whole thing a once

3- using addition to reunite the whole thing

now, this is just a way to illustrate this issue, but it occurs in most of my boolean operations... making shape building long and complicated, and sometimes impossible

By the way... i'd love to see -as many- some kind of a "shape-builder" tool to make my workflow as fast and convenient as Illustrator... or at least some official answer about it coming or not it's not the point here, but it's pretty much necessary for logomaking nowadays ! me and many other can't recommend, switch or stick to Affinity because of it ! too bad since some much Affinity designer, photo, and publisher features are so great !

thanks!
