Remove overlap and collinear lines

Has the remove overlap algorithm changed? It doesn’t remove points on a straight line anymore, like the one pointed at by the red arrow in the image.

It might have been an effort to keep compatible outlines. I’ll have a look.

Remove Overlap or Remove Overlap on All Masters? The latter has indeed become more conservative about removing points, a couple of app versions ago.

It happens with both methods.

I’ve noticed this too, with both methods. Is there possibly a macro or hidden pref we can revert back to the older behavior? Thanks!

Anyone know if this has been resolved or if there’s a way to revert to previous remove overlap behavior?

For now, you need to run “Tidy up path” after removing overlap.
