Expand stroke makes it disappear

[GenewalDesign]

When I expand a stroke, sometimes it just disappear. BUT.

The curve is still in my layers list, but it doesn't appear inside my work area. The curve can be selected in the layers list, but in the transform panel, it doesn't have width or height.

The curve isn't moved somewhere else, it doesn't appear anywhere.

HI @GenewalDesign,

Thanks for your report!

Are you able to please provide a copy of this document with the curve before it has been expanded? If you wish, this can be a 'cutdown' file with only the affected curve(s) present.

Many thanks in advance

Hey Dan, here is the file. Thanks for your help

Thanks for providing that for me!

I've tested this in both 2.0.4 and 2.1 beta and unfortunately the issue is present in both versions - this bug appears to be caused by the Pressure Profile applied to the curve, as removing this allows the shape to be expanded as expected.

I'll be logging this as a bug with our developers now, I hope this helps

I hope I won't drive back the 2.1 release 😅

We don't have to remove it, just raise up the start end to something non zero. Having said that, I would think this is a bug.

Thanks Bruce, that's certainly interesting!

I'll add this info to the development log with the users file
