I hope the attached video makes it clearer. The pushed track is moved beyond pads 5 and 3. It happens in certain point, when the cursor hits some certain coordinates. But when I move the cursor back, the track which was pushed by the working track isn't moved back to its original position. I have to move the cursor way farther back. What it should do is to act like a reversed video, if I follow the same route back with the cursor than which I just moved forward, everything should move backwards exactly like it moved forward, but reversed. If the cursor jumps from one grid point to another and at the same time a track is pushed, that pushed track should move exactly where it was if I move the cursor back to the previous grid point.

(In the video I don't necessarily move back exactly the same route but it behaves the same nonetheless.)

Some people may be used to this behavior, but over time I have noticed that this takes quite much of my working time and makes the interactive router feel unpredictable.
