    This is regulated by the size of the art processes and the precision value (measured in absolute values) one can edit in Pathfinder Options.

    Although vector paths stay continuous no matter how deep you zoom in, they are still stored on a canvas with rather finite coordinates, and all calculations are still very finite.

    Thank you so much for your help, Egor! Changing the precision on pathfinder options solved it.

    I realised I was working with really small dimensions and I didn't know that would affect the precision of results — because they're mathematical shapes, I thought I could work with any size (infinitely large or small).
    I've been working with Illustrator for over a decade and never ran into this issue, so I thought it was a new bug 😅

    Thanks a lot!
