Bug Description
This is a bit difficult to describe (and search for) so I don't know if this is a duplicate. But here is a video of a situation into which I bump every now and then with the interactive router in Shove mode.
The router suddenly finds a route which violates DRC and the angle of the track isn't n*45deg even though I have limited the angle. It kind of takes a shortcut, the shortest distance between points A and B. I can't find the reason or exact situation when this happens, it just happens every now and then. It has happened for a long time, it doesn't depend on some specific version. IIRC I have seen this even long before 5.0.
Here are some restrictions which I think apply for the situation:
I have used or am using small grid, e.g. 0.05mm in this specific case. Maybe I have used even smaller for the same project and then changed. It probably happens when I try to route to a pad, or work nearby a pad, but I'm not sure about this. The distance is pretty small, a couple of mm at most (again IIRC).

Could you send me (in private) the PCB layout that you're editing in the video above?
