Interactive router pad "exit" sometimes behaves strangely in 5.1.5

In some cases exiting a pad behaves quite strangely. I made a screencast showcasing the problem. Notice that the grid setting is very small (0.05mm) so the router really has no reason to behave this strangely.

The example project i used (from one of my tutorials, in finished state so you will need to delete the one trace in question first.) first_project_pcb_done.zip

Somebody on reddit complained about the same thing (reminded me that i wanted to make a bug report about this): https://old.reddit.com/r/KiCad/comments/en3xkx/is_there_a_way_i_can_avoid_traces_not_being/
