    I have just upgraded from 2022.1.22 to 2022.2.7.

    After having upgraded my 
    NavMeshAgent
    can't find the nav mesh on the XY plane. The nav mesh agent gizmo is drawing on the horizontal plane. This was not an issue in the previous version we were using.

    I would appreciate any tips as to what I need to change to operate on the XY plane. This is blocking us from updating Unity.

    In the screenshot below both the agent and the mesh are at the same Z position.



    NOTE: I am generating the nav mesh through a third party package that uses 
    NavMeshBuilder
    directly. This seems to be an issue with 
    NavMeshAgent
    itself, which is part of Unity core, not the package. However, installing 
    com.unity.ai.navigation
    1.1.1 does not resolve the issue.

    So I worked around this by stripping all usage of 
    NavMeshAgent
    from the project and instead using 
    NavMesh.CalculatePath
    directly. I was mainly using it for the async pathfinding handling, but I will write my own async manager for that if the cost becomes too high.

    Still a regression on Unity's end though AFAICT.
