Expand Stroke Crash

[Bryce]

I'm working on a file and found that if I try to expand stroke on more than one selected object at a time Designer 2.11 crashes. Seems to be consistent even on a new file.

Hi Bryce,

I can't seem to replicate this here, if you navigate to the apps preferences and under performance untick metal compute does this issue still occur?

Thanks

Hello Callum,

I tried disabling Metal compute and it still happens.

I have narrowed down how to reproduce the crash. If you have more than one stroke applied in appearance and you select more than one object to expand stroke, it seems to crash every time. 

I've attached a file showing the demonstration that crashes for me each time I have more than one object selected for expand stroke.

thanks!

Any updates on this? Anyone else found to be able to crash? I can reproduce this on multiple computers.

Absolutely not. 

Some strange things happened when applying discontinued stroke on the inside of the "Z" but no crash. (Every change was made with at least two objects selected.)

Crashed instantly on win 11
2.1 and 2.2 beta this by selecting all objects>expand stroke.
If one at a time it works without a hitch.

Same. I selected the to first objects in 2.1.1 and 2.2 beta and expand stroke crashed Designer instantly.

Ah - it was extremely easy to figure out what was causing this crash:

1. Inspect visually whats special about these ellipses...
2. Two seconds later... Aha!
3. Make new document and create an ellipse and from the appearance panel add an additional stroke (Result: 2 strokes, one fill)
4. Duplicate
5. Select both
6. Expand stroke
7.  💣  💣  💣  💣 

So expand stroke crashes when it tries to handle several objects with at least two strokes.

Yes. That is exactly what I found too. Instant crash as soon as more than one object with more than one stroke is selected and chosen to expand stroke.

Something else that's funny is it says I'm running x86-64 code - on my M1 Pro. Is that a problem?

Tried to replicate this on an Windows 10 machine using Designer 2.11 …
Works – i get the strokes as separate curves – until i try to undo with CTRL-Z: Crash.
