    Don't hold SHIFT. Holding the SHIFT key down makes it do that. If you need it in the center, use Insert Loop instead.

    Well the problem is that I'm trying to follow a tutorial and he says that he is holding down shift to get the edge loop in the center/middle without distortion

    And that tool is just the connect tool which take alot more time to use then swiftloop,Especially if i have a dense mesh.

    Yeah its because its easier to show what i mean


    *EDIT*

    Okey here is the thing i found.When i have a box,It distorts the box when holding shift.If i have a plane object and holding shift it works like a charm!It follows the geometry but seems like it cant handle a 90 degree turn
