What is the use of a switch that remains horizontal, vertical, or at a 45° angle?

What is the use of a switch that remains horizontal, vertical, or at a 45° angle?(shift+space) Whether I turn it on or not, the wiring is at the end corner. How can I eliminate this corner?



Expected result:

It seems the only way to change from “Free angle” to “90 & 45 deg.” is to use the Free angle mode in Route > Interactive Router Settings > Highlight Collisions.

The button (highlighted above), the hotkey, and Preferences > PCB Editor > Editing Options > Constrain Actions don’t work.

That switch (icon + hotkey) influences only the drawing of graphic items (lines, rectangles), not the routing behaviour.
