Blend issues

[Boldline]

I don't know if this is a bug or a user error on my part. I am trying to make a simple 2 step blend between the light blue top object and the darker blue "seniors" I did not have the lower one (seniors) "combined". It's giving me a crazy blend pattern that does not make sense to me. Here is the video
If I remember correctly, making several objects to be blended "combined" as one object in the blend process is now possible but not required.
interestingly, when I made the word "seniors" a combined shape, the blend in the picture disappeared entirely.
I'm wondering if this is a regression, because I've made blends in the past without issue.

Interestingly, when I made two simple squares, it did exactly what it was supposed to - so it seems my issue is with the letter shapes?

@Boldline Yes, the problem can be replicate here too. It is an error in how one shape is mapped to the other, added it to the backlog.
