Line symbol with offset is incomplete if start and end coordinates are equal

[SGroe]

What is the bug or the crash?

The first and last line segments are missing if offset is greater than 0.

(The line is complete if offset is less than 0.)

(Start-end node is indicated with green arrow, original line geometry is black, offset line is red)

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Create or find line feature where start and end node coordinates are equal.
2. Set line offset to a value greater than 0
3. See missing line segments
