I have a very simple part which is the mirror of another part. For some reason, when I sketch something on planes parallel to the mirror plane and try to extrude or cut the body it appears to fail. What's actually happening is the preview shows the extrude/cut happening in the correct direction, but the applied extrude/cut is happening in the opposite direction meaning it either extrudes into the body or cut nothing.
I saved the part into an external file and it works fine.
I deleted the mirror and made the part again from a mirror but it's giving me the same issue.
Extruding/cutting on planes perpendicular to the mirrored plane work fine.
I started a brand new design to test the issue and was able to confirm it happening there as well.
