Ver 7.0.13, when cutting a tab which is on a curved surface, rather than an arc move to follow the part contour I am getting a couple of linear rapids which collide with the part.

It will do rapid moves if the tab thickness takes the cut above the rapid clearance height. Either raise the rapid clearance height or reduce the tab thickness.
