Can't do a boolean operation if top curve is not closed or not filled

[christhes]

I use Affinity to create comics and frequently use boolean operations to create tails for word balloons when the built-in callout ellipse/rectangle tools aren't appropriate. In v1 it was possible to do this just by clicking three times with the pen tool and doing a boolean add. Now I have to either make sure the tail curve is closed (four clicks with the pen tool) or make sure it has a fill assigned, otherwise all it does is add extra vertices where it overlapped the first curve.

Example: top left are the base shapes, top right is what happens when those shapes are added in ADv1, bottom is what happens when those shapes are added in ADv2.

Similarly it used to be possible to use boolean divide without a second operator on a shape consisting of merged non-overlapping curves to split them into separate curves, and now when I attempt this without setting a fill it just deletes them. Again, it works properly if the shape has a fill.

Yeah, that is the bug here. Pretty sure that Affinity is aware of this one.
