Brush strokes get displaced from their paths in large canvas documents
I found a bug that affects the placement of stroke art in relation to its stroke path. When creating a document that needs a canvas that's larger than 227" it results in paths being offset from their original path without any additional effects. When creating a document that has a 227" canvas the stroke art is correctly aligned to their path.

Copy and paste to normal canvas will fix the misalignment.
Copy and paste the corrected path to the larger canvas and the misalignment will be restored. -

This happens with large document sizes.
Please see the screen capture video I recorded.
I hope it will be resolved. -

However, I can’t confirm this problem to not exist in versions prior to 2023.
26.5.2 shows the same behaviour.Upon investigation, I see that the brush you are using is a giant path, 98.0938 inches long and 5.3154 inches tall, in the document’s units.
However, the scale option chosen for the art brush is 'Stretch to Fit Stroke Length'. So it means that Illustrator should maintain the 5.3154 height of it (that it a width or 'weight' of the stroke) across the line, which is not the case nor in 2022, neither in 2023 versions!
If we rebuild the same giant brush in an much older version, such as CS6, Illustrator maintains the original height of the artwork used — as intended.
So it’s not 2023 got broken, but 2022 before it!This needs further investigation.
Meanwhile — what was the latest version you say you were able to use this specific 'fat brush' succefully? Are you sure in that? It can’t be 2022. -
DG, thanks for the file.
I confirm this issue. -

Custom art brush offsets when you select and redraw the path using brush tool. Bottom path is redrawn.
