Summary
In Creative Mode and UEFN, the majority of plant props in game have an issue where they cause
Hitching
Glitching
Stuttering
Lag
Collision issues
All when walking through or standing on the plant props.
This impacts many games especially highly detailed ones as not only does it create a poor player experience, it also means 1.0 creators cannot build nice foliage as they cannot import their own assets.
It has been ongoing for approximately 2 years now.
This includes plants, tall flowers, small flowers, most foliage, and many of the elemental galleries including the new skull/underworld water pieces.

Steps to Reproduce
Step 1 - Launch a creative or UEFN session
Step 2 - Go into the creative inventory
Step 3 - Go to galleries
Step 4 - Sort by nature
Step 5 - Place down a variety of plants from different galleries (especially newer galleries) The chapter 1 galleries seem to be ok for the most part
Step 6 - Walk/run through, or jump on top of many of these plants
Step 7 - You will then notice, shaking, stuttering, lag and collision issues on the majority of plants in game
Expected Result
When following the list provided above, i would expect to be able to walk, run and jump through ANY of these plants smoothly with no collision.
I would expect the plants to move slightly when running through them like they used to, but that should not have any impact on player collision.
Observed Result
When following the list provided, the observed result is plants having glitched hitboxes.
Causing shaking and stuttering when running, walking, or jumping through them
They do not seem to behave properly for the most part
However a lot of chapter 1 plants seem to not have this problem.
But the majority of plants in game do.

Additional Notes
Above i linked one of my old island codes, a Jungle map using a lot of different foliage.
I have not been able to update this map for years due to the severity of the plant problems.
If you run through the map/plants you should be able to see this issue easily.
The issue is extremely detrimental to console/mobile creators as they can’t import their own assets
It has been ongoing for multiple years
Even brand new galleries keep having the problem, especially the plants/elemental galleries
