Bug/Issue - Angle between AGV Paths depends on container object orientation

One of our clients had a problem with task executers not being able to travel along an agv path with forced forward orientation.

We traced the issue to be caused by the calculation of angles between two paths seemingly being influenced by the orientation of the container object. In the gif below, the left path is located inside the plane which is rotated 180° around the z-axis. The path on the right is located under the default AGVNetwork node.

Despite the paths leading smoothly into each other this causes a "phase shift" and the task executer changes its orientation due to the "Turn Around Threshold" being set to 91°.

Not sure if this might be related to the issue pointed out in the post below and thus already on the dev list.

Thanks for pointing this out.

This doesn't seem related to that other post, which is about bugs with UI tools that move the paths around.

This looks like the Turn Around Threshold calculation isn't taking into account parent container rotations. I'll add this issue to the bug list.
