unexplained twisting happening when trying to use "Curved Segment: Interpolates a 3d shape between two 2D curves and optional hullcurves"

Description: unexplained twisting happening when trying to use "Curved Segment: Interpolates a 3d shape between two 2D curves and optional hullcurves"

Reproduction steps:

  1. create a circle on one end
  2. a mirrored bspline on other end.
  3. use the feature "Curved Segment: Interpolates a 3d shape between two 2d Curves and option hullcurves"

The issue happens even without the shown guide curve in the images below, so those guide curves can be ignored while trying to reproduce the issue. Screenshot from 2021-01-16 02-53-52 Screenshot from 2021-01-16 02-53-35 Screenshot from 2021-01-16 02-52-45

Update: This happens even when the bspline is not mirrored. or even if its not a bspline but just a simple rectangle

In my experience Curved Segment doesn't work very well for any base shape that is not a polygon (straight edges), the interpolated curves do not close and it becomes impossible to build a solid. I find it a pity, as it greatly reduce the usability of what would otherwise be an extremely versatile tool.
