pcbnew: arc edge cut not working as supposed

[Nicholas Savenlid]

arced edge cuts seems to form a virtual straight line.

somehow it feels there is some new feature checking your routing with respect to card edge.

but also fills dont reach the edge.

please see pic

I will now redraw this arc into poly-line and see if it disappears

[Nicholas Savenlid (nicholas-z)]

yep, the arc misbehaves

another pic to illustrate

I think this has been fixed with the new segment-count algorithm (see attached image).

@Nicholas, please re-open if it still happens for you.
