»Create outlines« of text on a circle path is making weird things
v 17.0.1
Intel Mac
Big Sur
If you have a longer text written on a circle path and try to »Create Outlines« it fails at one area: The text gets smaller and is kind of turned around.
This only happens with longer text: Short text seems to work ok.

Hi Rainer,
one workaround is to scale the object to e.g. 400%.
Outlining should work then.
Scale back the result to 25%.Note: That bug is new with InDesign 2022 version 17.
Had a document that I tested with InDesign 2021 and InDesign CS6. No issue. It's just with InDesign version 17.Discussions at the InDesign User forum:

Weird behaviour. I'v testetet this in and out. Cannot reproduce at 100%, but it is so often, this should be fixed.
