By design:
«Connects nodes in two paths with lines or with polygons. In the case of lines, it simply draws a line between each corresponding node in the two paths (i.e., a line between the first node of one path and the first node of the other path, etc.). If one path has more nodes than the other, the extra nodes are not used. All the lines are sub-paths of one path. In the case of polygons, a quadrilateral is drawn between corresponding adjacent pairs of points on the two lines. Each quadrilateral is a separate path. All the created paths are placed in a Group. In both cases, the original paths are not changed. »

Could you please provide a sample drawing illustrating how «if there are three objects selected there should be three extrusions, if there are five objects there should be nine extrusions» is supposed to work/look like?
