		Hi teapot,
I tried to reproduce your report, but I didn't find a difference between the before and after joining the strokes.
In the image below; from top to bottom:
The 'before', without the union of the strokes. You can see 4 markers displaying the position of the anchors for each stroke.
The 'after', after joining the strokes, only 3 markers showing the existence of anchors. (Final anchor marker becomes middle marker)
