Vector shapes changed to a section of the path I had deleted
I'm creating kaleidoscope patterns. To do this, I created a shape that is like a thin pizza slice (1/12th of a circle). I did this by using the pathfinder tool to intersect a circle with a triangle.
I took the resulting "pizza slice with a rounded top" shape and duplicated it multiple times. I then spent the next several hours using these to crop various patterns for sections of my kaleidoscope.
After a few hours a familiar bug appeared, where the bounding box around a shape it huge. I checked my remaining "pizza slices" and discovered that half of them were now very large. I did not intentionally enlarge them, but okay. Maybe it happened by accident.
Here's the thing that's definitely a bug. Half of the pizza slice shapes had been replaced with the section of path that I deleted when I intersected a circle with a triangle. I am 100% sure that these were pizza slice shapes and that I did not make any copies of this portion of the path.
Tl;dr I made a shape using pathfinder, then copied it multiple times. Half of these copies were swapped out with the portion of the path I deleted before copying the shape I wanted.

That’s an interesting case... Never had one like this. Can you share the file with the odd shapes that you got?
