Expanding stroke occasionally dropping inner strokes

[jpfouch48]

When expanding the stroke of a curve (text converted to curve), the inner strokes are sometimes dropped. When selecting a different alignment option, the stroke will be expanded properly at times but could not find any pattern to get it to operate as expected. Also, changing stroke size sometimes fixes the issue. 

 

Note in screen cast, could not get menu to be visible but option to expand stroke was selected.

This is a pain. The problem is caused by a stroke on the outside of the curve(s).

In essence you have to have a centred curve (of twice the width) for this to work, after expanding you move the red curves layer to the back and subtract the black (a copy if needed) letters from it.

@Old Bruce, thanks for the work around. I'll give it a shot. I'd agree that this is a pain as expanding the stroke should be a one step process. Hopefully this is fixed as I use this a ton.
