Asymmetrical Corner Radius Limit

[BBkuro]

I am using Affinity Designer 2.5.5 now.

There is a problem when I try to use corner tool that produce difference radius limit in different side of an perfect symmetrical shape.
Here is how to reproduce the problem:
1. Create a circle on top
2. Create a rectangle at bottom
3. Merge them together
4. Using corner tool to 2 corner at middle, produce maximum corner possible. You could now we they are not the same.
Futher exploration
First way: Using the reverse curve, you could see the limit now swap side, meaning it depend on where the path begin.
Second way: Recreate half the path with all square corner, it show that the begin of path really affect the limit, no matter what neighboor corners are.

My expectation: I want to have the corner radius as big as possible, because I love curve more 😉

This sounds like it’s related to these bug reports:

So sorry. I have check the forum before, but not lucky to find them.
Thank you for pointing that out 😅
Hope Affinity Team could solve it soon, because I found this in a Facebook Messenger Forum, which may affect much on new user. I could work around myself but many people feel very frustrating already.

Serif are definitely aware of the issue and it has been given an official tag elsewhere (AF-1164, and maybe AFD-6628) so all we can do is wait and see if anything happens.
