stairs flare

When you create a flared stair, you can edit the shape on each side independently. 

 

Maybe you are using a starter tread?  Starter treads will automatically build on both sides unless the side is against a wall.  If you have a situation where you don't have a wall but don't want the starter tread, you may be able to trick the program with a room divider or invisible wall.  You could also create your starter tread using a landing which will allow you to create it pretty much any shape you want.

 

If this does not help you solve your problem, then you may want to post a picture or plan.

 This works every time. 

 

What is meant by this, is that the stair stringer on an L shape (which is open to a room) will sometimes become extra wide, for no apparent reason. 

Placing an invisible wall against the stringer can stop the width from increasing. 

 

...and if the intent was to have a starter tread with a turn-out on one side only, the invisible wall method reins the unwanted "flare" on the straight section.

That doesn't sound right.  If you can create a plan with this situation, then you should report this to our tech support team.
