Expand stroke produces horrible paths 1.10.0

Hello,

expand stroke command produces horrible paths (shown on attached video). Please, can you fix this asap? The app is literally unusable for professional logo creation or detailed exports for factory production.

I found a way to make cleaner outline for those who experienced the problem -->  we can use the Contour tool instead. But... there is something really wrong with the expand stroke. There shoud not be round corners or glitchy paths after expand when there is no roundness to the path.

Hello @MarekGFX,

Set "Join" to "Miter Join".

Thank you. It was set to "Meter join" (sharp corners) – in video you shoud see sharp corners of the stroke before expanding :) The stroke expansion make weird round corners and  a glitchy path.

It's weird, I don't get the same behaviour, the corners don't become rounded after "Expand Stroke".

Yes, it is. I tried with different examples and it works just fine. But in this particular one it is a problem – unexpected behaviour.
