Enclosed stroke segments disappear when applying Expand Stroke

[フィリップ]

When the Expand Stroke command is applied to a vector object that contains enclosed shapes, only the outermost stroke is expanded. The interior stroked lines disappear.

Something odd is going on here, as I'm able to draw out a rectangle, place 2 smaller rectangles in the middle of the shape, subtract them and then expand stroke and everything is fine.  If I draw a shape like yours with the Pencil Tool, subtract and then expand I get the same results as you.

I'll need to get this logged with the Developers, as this should work.

I just installed v2.1 and this bug still hasn't been fixed. This is a bit annoying for me as the expand stroke feature is something I have to use a lot.

What would I need to do in order to downgrade to an earlier version that supports this feature? (1.9 perhaps?)

Do you have a license for V1? If so, you can download it from your Mac App Store account if you purchased there, or from Serif at https://affinity.store/update/macos/designer/1 if you purchased it from them. But note that V1 cannot open files saved in V2.

If not, you can't.
