When you use a widget interaction component against a cylinder shaped UI and try to collide with a button from more extreme angles the line trace wont find any colliders. If you do the same with a plane shaped UI you can collide from these angles. ---

Hello Thumbserelly, I was able to reproduce this issue on our end. I have written up a report and I have submitted it to the developers for further consideration. I have provided a link to the public tracker. Please feel free to use the link provided for future updates.

I’ve found a similar issue - the mouse cursor is slightly offset so the player always has to click higher and righter than it appears. Works fine as ‘plane’ geometry mode, but it’s offset in cylinder mode. ---

Took 4 years for UE to decide not to fix the bug! Here I am another 4 years later having to manually fix this defect as the parallax between what the user “visually” targets and what the Widget Interaction Component from a controller targets can be off by enough to miss interactions completely…
