It is as Ofnuts said - small stray tangents. Actually VERY small stray tangents. They can be seen if you zoom in to 25000%. The image below is from the stroke second from top. The stray tangents on your original 2 paths are even smaller, difficult to see at 25000%.

I had a mouse, brand new, that was very prone to creating these very small tangents.

Ofnuts has a script to remove these stray tangents. Use it on your 2 original paths before using the path inbetweener.

Blighty, thank you for the information. It seems something rare, but it isn't, isn't it?

Not that rare, otherwise I wouldn't have created a script to fix it. It can happen as a result of Select>To path. But IMHO it's more a problem of the library that strokes the path than a problem with the path generation.

You are welcome, it was fun to make it, as it is fun to make "zoobkas". If you try it, don't hesitate to post your own creations here, we would love to see them. Smile

Rather post them to "Gallery". You can start a Zoobka thread there.
