Stars going crazy

[Katbuc88]

Whenever I recolor or expand this logo, the stars go crazy and I can't figure out why.  They are supposed to look like the version on the left obviously.

Thank you in advance!!

Can you share the Illustrator file in question?

[Bobby Henderson]

Do you know how the stars were originally made? Are they part of some kind of art brush, scatter brush or some other live effect? I've never seen a standard path with a plain line stroke go wonky like that when expanded.

I just made a circle then pucker and bloat I believe! I'm so confused

I created a new window and copied it over to that- no issues. So I guess that file was just glitching?  Idk, thanks for both of your responses!

Kathryn,

Your copyting over successfully seems to indicate a corrupt document, as you guessed.

Apart from that, the stars seemed to turn into broom stars.
