Divide doesn't divide

[sambader]

I don't know if this is a bug or just some kind of logic that I don't understand. I've drawn various paths, selected them and then expanded stroke.

If I then select some curves and use the Divide tool they divide as expected and I can select the newly divided curves.

However with other curves they don't divide they just disappear. I've selected the same curves and used xor/intersect/subtract/add and all of those work as expected but divide works inconsistently (or in this case not at all).

Hi Sambader,

Development are aware of the issues with Divide so its definitely not logic that you don't understand. I will get your feedback passed on.

Thanks for letting us know.

Sometimes it helps to divide objects in pairs only. Takes more time, of course…

Tried that - didn't work either.

This is so frustrating. Seems to be a complete lottery as to whether expanding strokes and dividing paths will work as expected and then when it doesn't having to go back and do workarounds.
