Strange orbiting/swinging motion with Object Bind.
#1
Can someone explain to me what is going on in this example file, please?  (using 1.127 and max 2023)


The particles of Event_001 (pink) aren't bound to each other. (I double checked with the collision box as it looked like they might be without it).
However, they do seem to orbit/swing around the cylinder of the Object Bind (set to surface) despite being way outside of the Proximity Influence.
Additionally, they seem to hit a wall around x=0 when "swinging" back.

This happens with Sticky Connections, the springs behave as expected at first sight.
And if I activate Particle Binds as well, the particles are going nowhere, which is also unexpected (to me).
Very likely I'm misunderstanding something here or did something wrong, I just can't figure it out.
