Pathfinder "outline" does not work with angled lines/paths

Hello fellas!

When I use the Pathfinder > Outline and one line or path is at 45º they both literally disappear like if I had pressed delete. This does not happen when lines are at 0º and 90º as you can see here: http://recordit.co/z73iPU6Gaf

I have no idea why this happens and how to fix it.

Is it necessary for those stroked open line segments to remain as such? Pathfinder operations typically work best on closed loop shapes. You could expand the line strokes into thin rectangles and weld those two objects together. Or you could try using the Path Offset command to create new offset vector shapes around those open line segments and then weld the new offset shapes together.

What happens when you view this in outline view? Strokes get a weight of nearly zero applied when using Outline.

Unfortunately, the same 😞

Weirdly this ONLY happens if one line is at 45º
