    If you force a »Merge Path Components« Photoshop will create pathPoints at the intersection and you can delete the points that form the overlap.

    Why do you use »Fill Path« anyway and don’t create a Shape Layer?

      Dont get the terminology. It would be kind help if you send step wise screen shot or make small video for different procedure avoiding such problem.

      Still at it, eh?

      And no, that the Path is open is not the problem, if you close it the issue persists.

      This is basic Path behaviour in Photoshop.

      I think Illustrator treats Path-self-overlaps differently, so you could try there and place the object as a Smart Object in Photoshop if necessary.
