[FIXED] Bug with Join Contours/Split Contour

Post by MBear227 »

When I try to use either Join Contours or Split Contour in the newer versions, sometimes it works, sometimes it does nothing, and sometimes it completely deletes one of the shapes instead.

Yes, this can happen sometimes.

Try changing one or two of these off-curve nodes before using joining the overlapping contours.

This still happens even if all the points are on curve.
