Extrude along spline ver 2022 and above

Hi, is anyone experiencing the same thing in versions 2022 and above. I am trying to extrude a face along a curve, however the extruded geometry does not follow the curve correctly. I have found a workaround but I think it is not working as expected. Do the devs monitor these threads? Would like to put in a bug report if it is one. In version 2020 it works correctly without having to convert or move any bezier points. 

Pic1: Extruded geo does not follow the curve. Settings: align to curve is checked.

Pic2: Had to convert starting point to a bezier point and pull out the handles for it to work.

Pic3: Works correctly after.

Hi Casio101! Thank you for reporting the issue with the extrusion. I can't reproduce the same problem in 2022.3_Update. I can see that you also are using the Extrude Along Spline Align option. Make sure to align the first vertex to the extruded face. In my short gif clip, I am showing my results. Maybe I am missing some details. Are you on Windows10 or 11?

Hi, thank you for your reply, I recently upgraded to windows 11.Was not sure if it was working that way in windows 10 as I did not use that function at the time.
I had a look at the attached gif and I had the vertex aligned but the thing that confused me was when you had the "aligned to face" checked, the extrusion deviated from the line/curve which is weird as the face and the first vertex is aligned,it shouldn't do that.

I have done another test in both the 2020 and 2022 versions. (The original file was created in 2020)

Thank you for your time and additional details. I will do more testing and talk to our developers about this case.
