Area outline converts to too many paths in gcode #23

When path is treated as area, path outline is converted to too much paths which are places one on top of another (meaning tool unnecessairly cuts the same path number of times).

It seems like number of paths for area outline is related to number of paths within area.

In one occasion I ended up with abuot 100 paths for outline route making cutting tool circling around 100 times following the same path (and cutting nothing as the first circle cut all what was needed) and wasting time.
