Beyond the Basics Pattern along path creates distorted forms

    I'm having trouble with the pattern along path feature. It boils down to the following: Whenever there is a change in direction in the skeleton path, the pattern will shrink to zero size.

     

    I'm wondering as to why this is the case, and possibly how to prevent it.

    I wonder what kind of result you expect?

    Either of the two would be valid results I would guess. I do not see options "+corners" or "distribute" in my Path effects tab. Where would I find those options?

    "Distribute along Path" is in Extensions->Generate from Path and "Corners" is a Live Path Effect.
