Align does not have its own operator. It is a "submode" of the generic transform operator.
In the transform operator, the Orientation Axis is purposely kept visible as it is commonly used in other modes.
Maybe we could use the poll_property callback to display properties depending on the mode.
But this needs to be studied.

note that this wasn't technically a bug, but it wasn't useful behavior either - these settings and no longer used between executions.

From first glance, it looks like Orientation Axis is not used here. (@Germano Cavalcante (mano-wii) : correct me if I am wrong).
If it is indeed unused, maybe we can hide it from the Adjust Last Operation panel?

Set this to resolved by mistake.

Setting this as a paper cut.

+1 to everything @Sebastian Parborg (zeddb) said.

Confirmed, also that this worked in 2.79 (added test file).

This works well, accepting, although there are some issues with this patch unrelated to the logic this changes.

This file contains overlapping curves, these are not supported at the moment and cause problems.

Would you be interested in finishing the work started here: https://developer.blender.org/D11621?vs=on&id=38398#toc to implement a proper tangent normal mode to the new curve code for geometry nodes?

I have been working on multi-object edit mode support for the knife tool and knife project as part of my GSOC project.

My use case is exactly as described by OP. game assets with low/high poly workflow, 1 bevel/chamfer WN most common. For larger bevels I use three, which doesn't create too many edges to deal with and looks pleasing for the high poly wrapping. I'm on 2.93 and still seeing corner get squashed UV Faces, e.g.

Found the problem, will commit a fix shortly.

Hi, @Sebastian Parborg (zeddb) , I wonder if this could be included in 2.93.x series (since it seems for 3.0 there will be new code for the curves). Did you find some time to look into this? Is there something I can do to help?

Same problem in Alpha 3.0.0 (blender-3.0.0-alpha+master.8aa1c0a326a8-windows.amd64-release).

@Campbell Barton (campbellbarton) This is likely for you.

The default Limit Method was changed in recent versions to Angle instead of the old None default (can be seen in your screenshots too). If you change it to None now it seems to match what you wanted. Can you confirm that's the case?
