Calligraphic Brush, Blob Brush appearance anomalies at small brush sizes (1 pt and above)
Illustrator 22.1, though this is extant in all versions I'm familiar with (since at least CS5).
When drawing with a calligraphic brush (and thus also with the blob brush) at small sizes, certain tight curves result in anomalous shapes extending out from the expected area covered by the brush. The screenshot attached is around 15mm across. AI file also attached. Expected result is that the brushed area corresponds to the shape of the calligraphic brush along the whole length of the path.

Yes, Matthew.
Calligraphic brushes suck.
The smoothing applied is highly inaccurate and aggressive.
Now, with Live Preview, we can see it very clearly. And it doesn’t help to have less points. A final result is almost always random and changes sporadically, like the GIF attached shows. Hardly fixed... although, to be fair, I test this with 29.1 Beta, not 29.2.(Edited by admin) -

Here are my last results in 29.2.34. It's not as consistent as it was previously but I still have it happening. I did have to draw several brush strokes to get it to trigger. I have no idea why the using the brush tool with a mouse and pressure enabled behaves that way. It should look like a single uniform thickness.

Appears solved to me for calligraphic brushes at least in Beta 29.2.34

This bug hasn't been fully fixed and therefore should not be showing as "completed".

Hi Ashutosh,
I can recreate the problem in your own file by increasing the brush size from 5 to 6 pt:
