Additional Information

We apologize that we were unable to address this issue within the current product support cycle. If the issue continues to affect your work in a supported release, please contact Technical Support.

Workaround

Use the Analysis Tools > Proximity > Buffer tool instead, with a negative distance and the OUTSIDE_ONLY option. This produces an inner ring buffer instead of an inner polygon.
