Is it a bug or a feature? Start with a circle. Hold the control key and use the Ellipse Tool. Create it any size you like. Clone this circle and move the clone to the right so the bottom circle and top circle overlap by about 20 pixels or so, more if you want. Select both circle and Arrange>Combine Shapes>Add Shapes. You should have one shape. Zoom in so you can see the three nodes at the bottom of where the former circles overlap. Use the Shape Editor Tool and select the node on the left. Right click and select Delete Node from the pop up menu. You should now have a line instead of a shape, but it's a very fat line. Try to convert the line to shape (can't be done on my system).
I've repeated this about 50 times with various size circles. Tried converting the circles to editable shapes before the Add Shapes. Tried removing the outline before the Add Shapes.
Odd, that if you use an Ellipse the change from shape to line does not occur.
Can anyone else repeat this behaviour?
