Question Kinematic ridigbody interferes with root animations and NavMeshAgent

I have an NavMeshAgent, which is driven by root animations. When I attach a rigidbody and set it to kinematic, for some reason the root animations move the character a smaller distance (or sometimes dont move at all). What could be the reason here? I did some research, and kinematic rigidbodies should allow root animations to move the character properly, and have no effect on position.
