Vector brushes not working the way I expected

[FoxyCornelieus]

Am I doing something wrong? All the ink brushes seem to be starting and ending partway through my stroke. This seems to change if I adjust the line width and sometimes ends up really crazy. How do I fix this so the stroke is recognized for the entire curve?

Are you painting those strokes with the Vector Brush Tool, or drawing with, e.g. the Pen Tool and then applying the Stroke using the Stroke studio, and the Textured Line Style (rightmost icon in the stroke type)?

I'm not sure what brush you're using, as those Inks don't look anything like the Inks in my Affinity Designer 2.1. But I think it's possible to cause that in the brush design, as there are settings for Head and Tail offset in the brush definition. You could try activating the Vector Brush Tool, then clicking on the icon between the "..." icon and the color well in the Context bar. That will show you the brush characteristics.
