problem with flatten part

hi there, first post on here....

I have an issue with a tube i have made in sheet metal. Everything is ok until i try and flatten the part. instead of a flat part it looks like it is shrinks to the boundry box.

i have attached 2 pics showing the problem

hope someone can help me with this, i have never seen this issue in any of my sheet metal parts before.
