Testing Active Track in the Trace mode, I made this flight path twice. The first time it executed without any problems.. except that I'd fogotten to record video. So I repeated it. Only this time, while recording video. About halfway down the road, the P4P suddenly veered to the left, toward some pines that were lining the road. I had to fight it with the controls to prevent it from hitting something and then drop out of Active Track mode.
I also note that the video feed was breaking up rather badly during this second test run.
There was nothing else in the frame to confuse the AT mode. If a bird had flown across my path and the drone locked on to it, that would explain the sudden veering off locked object, but no bird flew across my path.
All firmware is current, and software is current, running on the Crystal Sky Ultrabright.
This sudden misbehavior makes me not want to risk using Intelligent Flight mode again, especially in tight surroundings with a lot of trees.
