Width profile not smooth

I changed the width profile to my paths to the tringle shape, some of my paths are reacting normally (see top line) and some are changing to a sharp change in width. To clarify they are both on the same width profile.

I can't see that they're in any way different too each other in properties or in the layers, but I assume they must be somehow, anyone know why or how to fix?

Cant Reproduce your artifact in latest Illustrator. What happens if you increase stroke width?

Kate,

Maybe far too far out, but what happens if you hold Ctrl/Cmd and press E?

This toggles between GPU and CPU, the former sometimes being a bit unruly. You can untoggle if the issue remains.

This is what GPU is about:

GPU is faster, sometimes too fast, so it gets ahead of itself and moves in mysterious ways.
