Additional Information
We spent a fair number of cycles on this over the past year and have determined we will be unable to ''fix'' this once and for all. 1. There never was a spec for this behaviour. 2. At 10.0 2km just happened to be a sweet spot for what you may think the output should be at 10.0 for this case. As you increase the distance, the output begins to look more like abstract art. 3. it appeares there would have to to many solutions dependant on the relationship between the length of the line and the buffer distance (also depending on what we actually determined as a spec). This is a fairly ''complicated'' case that may need a custom solution. Simple cases appear to work as expected.Steps to Reproduce
