Every time I draw shapes with rounded joins (see picture for an example of a rectangle), I always have a corner that stay "rectangular". If I change to bevel joins, I see no weird behaviour.
Better upload the Inkscape SVG. From a quick look it could be 2 points in that spot - if so rectangle select and go "Join selected nodes". If that´s the parametric rectangle tool we need the file.
No, it's a standard rectangle. I did other tests, and I see the strange corner appear when I have small lines (in the example I attach, it appears with 0,05mm or less). And only with round ones. I put the bevels too.
It's annoying, 'cause I'm working on a pretty detailed number of objects, and I keep seeing that weird corner everywhere 😀 Look at the two details of my main file I put here. Every time I create a shape (no double near points, open paths or other issues), there's a sort of "initial point" that stay squared, not round.
Another workaround might be to remove and replace a segment, which has the effect of changing the location of the first node. In this case, dividing a segment first is used.
I had already break and join that affected corner point - with the result of traveling to the next corner. Very weird and not cured for over a year now.
I have a hard time to replicate everytime. Fun fact: take a fresh file add rectangle 10x9mm/0,5Stroke all is fine - but copy&pasting into your file "weird_strokes.svg" it gets corrupted. The other way around - copy&pasting into a new file - will cure that corner here.
I created a brand new file in another PC of mine, with a different release, less updated (1.0.2 e86c870879, 2021-01-15, custom). Sadly, I keep having the weird corner even there.
@Aero Yes it shows the same issue with the uploaded file and as I wrote copy&pasting will cure the issue here and with a fresh file I´m not able to provoke the issue - not saying it´s gone or fixed.
Beginners' Questions Weird stroke style behaviour?

Hallo everybody.
Every time I draw shapes with rounded joins (see picture for an example of a rectangle), I always have a corner that stay "rectangular". If I change to bevel joins, I see no weird behaviour.
Do you have some insight?
Thanks in advance.

This seems an ugly render bug. There´s nothing unusual with the object and opening the SVG in 4 different SVG apps don´t show this "sharp" corner.
Even in browser it´s looking good.
Ok - Nathan found the bug report: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/359
containing workarounds.

It appears to be a Cairo thing upstream, Inkscape Devs probably won't be fixing it, unless using a kludge.
Adding a node within a segment moves node #1 off a corner.
Thanks everybody. So, it's a bug. I'll do the additional node workaround, where it's critical. 😏
Fortunately Stroke to Path is not affected.
Yeah, sadly the PNG exportation suffers from it.

Wow, fantastic. 😆

Not that I really expect any other - but you´re still not up-to-date. 1.1.1 is around the corner.
Same issue in 1.1.1
Another workaround might be to cut everything out of the document, increase the scale in document properties then paste in place.

It might work for you with your default template, not necessarily for others with a different default template.
Interesting - which property do you think provokes this behavior then?
This.
