Slider shape is different on stable vs lazer

[peppy]

Notice the slider path extends slightly about the head circle.

If it helps, I made a recording of me moving this anchor to show the difference in behavior

It seems like the curve change in Lazer is more smooth than it is in Stable

The slider paths are the same (if you watch Auto on Stable slowed down, the slider ball goes upwards for a split second):

The difference is that Stable renders the slider body differently, it "merges" the paths when the distance between them is 6px or less. In this case, the "backwards" paths are completely gone since their max distance from the starting position is less than 3px.

If that's the case I'd argue that we probably could leave this be since lazer is arguably more correct?

[Magnus-Cosmos]

I'd say so too, majority of maps aren't affected by this and gameplay wise there shouldn't be any difference.

Going to close this one as "working as intended" based on the above conversation.

This was fixed for Catmull sliders here: #27734, and I believe there was a reason I didn't apply the fix universally. We may want to revisit this in the future.
