3d and materials cuts off edges

Hello, I've been encoutnering this bug where 3D and Materials cuts off the edges of things it's applied to. It happens with extrude and inflate. The problem has persisted through a couple versions, wondering if there's a fix yet that I'm overlooking.  It doesn't always happen, typically on wider selections of text but not exclusively. I've tried it on outlined text as well as live text, same results.


I see someone flagged this thread as answered but it''s not. Here are examples of what happens if you follow the solution suggested there (please see attached)
Thanks in advance for the help.

I found one work around, and I bring it up because it might contain some clues that would lead to a fix.
If you outline the text and ungroup the letters, you can apply something like inflate to each individual character and it looks great. It's only a solution if you don't need to apply something globally like rotating a word. Plus, if you are using raytracing you lose the interplay of light and shadow between the characters.
