Wanted to see if there was a setting I may have inadvertently set that I cant find. I'm getting a few face normal extrusion anomolies on default stuff.

Draw a Solid Box. Extrude the front face goes reverse. It did this for cylider also.

It is not related to the face, but the plane. Extruding the top face goes in normal direction. Rotating top side of cude to the front direction, has the issue remain in the front.

Let me know if you need any more info. Also I'll test on a couple computers to be sure it's not just something particular to me.

(It's not consrtained to the front)
