Knife tool extending cut beyond the bounds of the orignal shape and not completing the cut

[SheldonIkin]

On a couple of occasions today when I'm trying to cut through a curve shape (in this case the letter R and D) it starts the cut but on the other side it just extends a point to where i finish dragging but the object is still whole just with extra points. I thought it might be because I was doing a whole word worth of shapes (which is weird that only one letter wasn't working) but even when I focused on the single letter it still wouldn't work.

I also tried using the divide tool with a square and pen line but the cut never made it all the way through.

I am pretty sure sure this has been reported and noted.

Hi @SheldonIkin

Did this occur whilst holding down shift or Left + right mouse buttons then click and dragging?

[SheldonIkin]

IT did occur while holding shift. Here is a video of what works and doesn't work. The second half shows the issue but I left the first part in as I think it showcases what does work. It seems to be that once I rotate the object the knife doesn't work.

Thanks @SheldonIkin

We are aware of an issue with some unexpected results when using the straight line mode on the knife tool. It has been passed over to the devs for investigation.

Hey Guys.

The knife tool still doesn't work. When will the problem be fixed ?

Best regards !

Hi @Andreas Sobel
