Additional Information

This issue occurs below the spatial tolerance of the data and is believed by the system to be coincident, as shown by what happens when validate is executed with no error returned. The workaround to avoid the visual mismatch is to start and finish the split line beyond what is needed. 1. Start the split sketch outside the polygon by placing the first vertex. 2. For the second vertex, snap to the polygon boundary. 3. For the third vertex, snap to the polygon boundary. Vertices 2 and 3 represent the split line. 4. Click outside the polygon and finish the sketch.

Workaround

Save Edits after performing the split operation on the polygon.
In the Catalog pane, navigate to the feature dataset containing the affected polygon layer.
Locate the geodatabase topology associated with the dataset.
In ArcGIS Pro, go to the Edit tab and ensure the geodatabase topology is set as the active topology for the editing session.
Right-click the topology in the Catalog pane and choose Validate.
Once validated, the distorted lines and angles should snap back into place, correcting the geometry alignment.

Note: This workaround has been found effective even when no specific topology rules are applied to the dataset.
