Rectangular trace will not connect to round trace where it's supposed to

Layout

I noticed strange behaviour when attempting to connect rectangular to round traces. KiCad won’t let me connect the trace the obvious way. It insists to route the trace to a specific point on the arc.

Desired outcome:

rectangular_to_round_expected

What’s actually happening:

Is that expected behaviour? Why is that and how can I make the connection on the intended spot (without converting the graphical arc to a track because that renders it immutable and therefore causes greater headache down the road)?

Version: 9.0.1+1, release build

Hold shift while placing the track, that disables snapping and you can manually place it where ever you want it

That did the trick. Thanks a lot for the quick reply!
