I know this was an issue on the old Spectrum forum that doesn’t seem to have any ground here, and it still is an issue.

See quick video with imported complex vectors and a simple heart made in Figma.

Any idea when this bug will be addressed? Dropping it into Illustrator is not an appropriate solution.

    Hey All,

    This is a long standing bug that our engineers have been continuously logging and trying to fix. This generally only happens on icons imported from other apps, where the mirroring on the points is reversed or missing.

    Right now, the best workaround is to rebuild affected icons from scratch. Please note that redrawing with fewer points can also help.

    While we can’t guarantee an ETA on a fix/improvements, please know that our team follows this thread and takes everything you provide into consideration.

          If you are experiencing weird outline stroke bugs where the layer disappears and seemingly has no points or content after right click > outline stroke, try undoing it, closing the file, reopening, and trying again. I just experienced a bug where outline the stroke of a simple circle shape was causing the layer to disappear even though I had outlined a copy of it just a few moments before in a different frame. Relaunched the file and suddenly worked.
          ¯_(ツ)_/¯ bugs abound. worth a try.

            Unmarked as solved, hopefully that ensures the thread isn’t lost.

              Again, this generally will only happen with icons imported from other apps, where the mirroring on the points is reversed or missing.

              Sorry, but this is just not true. I create all my icons inside Figma, and this happens very often.

                  I also have this issue and I’m creating my icons only inside Figma from very few points. Right now the same issue happened with a simple curved line from 2 points 🤷‍♀️
                  There’s one solution that sometimes works for me, but still requires some workaround after, because for some reason Figma puts so many points there, I don’t get it.
                  But try hitting Command (or Ctrl) + E while it’s still a stroke and then outline it. Sometimes it helps a bit to me.

                      Having the same problem when working on some icons fra Streamline HQ. However, when I change the stroke position from center to either inside or outside, the outline stroke feature is working.
