[Maya 2020.4] Bevel tool making random edge detached

AB3LL1 · Apr 2021

Hello, I'm having this issue on some meshes when I apply bevel to the hard edges, sometimes a random edge gets detached from the mesh for no reason, after exploring the options in the tool I've found out that if I change "Mitering" to "None" the issue stops, however the bevel result is not good.
Does anyone have this problem or knows why it happens?

and the smooth preview with Mitering set to None.

P.S. The screenshots were taken on a wip mesh, I've cleaned up some of the larger n-gons however the issue remains.
