I'm experiencing an odd behaviour of the three-point circle in a sketch.

 

Three points are chosen (at maximum zoom), yet the circle that results does not intersect the three points chosen, it is created just 'inside' the points.

 

Please explain if this is intended behaviour.

If not an intended behaviour, please fix it.

 

More detail for understanding is in the screencast.

I did the same, but on the dimension the circle line does not touch the arrowhead

That is a viewport display (tesselation) issue. Your sketch geometry will be just fine.

I'm a little disappointed, in this thread the error was reported already in 2018, and now after 5 years it still hasn't been resolved... it's not a good thing.

There is no bug or error here!

Tesselation is a necessary evil in any CAD system I have come across in 30 years of working with CAD professionally.
