The “Track Posture” hot key ‘/’ used to work reliably. But now, if you have started to manually route a track and have clicked the starting point and are part way to an ending point at a pad, the command flips the bias until you have your cursor on the ending pad and then the track will only go one way. The command no longer works when you want to complete the path at the end point.
I also don’t like that feature, but I don’t remember times when it worked differently. I generally hate when program knows better then me what I want

Indeed, and add whether you’re using the modern, or the obsolete toolset from the: Pcbnew / Preferences menu.
On some systems there still is a Legacy F9] option, but that has been removed for Linux quite some time ago.
That Legacy canvas also does not have the Interactive router that I wrote about in your other thread.

Try turning off “optimize pad connections” in Route -> Interactive Router Settings.
This should be fixed in 5.99 (you should not have to turn it off to avoid this behavior).
