In the specific configuration shown below it is impossible to walk between the power pole and the chest.


If the bottom belt is facing any other direction or doesn't have the belt above it you can walk between them.

This is a quirk of the engine at most. The chest take up the entire tile while the power pole doesn't. So in order to walk between the power pole and the chest the player character has to move "up" a little bit. The player character then immediately gets pushed down and away by the belt.

I agree it makes things annoying difficult some times but I doubt it is something that will get fixed. Generally giving a quick tap "up" will counteract the belt enough to let your character slide through the gap.

Indeed, this is not a bug.
