Check your clearances very carefully. If two clearance zones "just"
touch then a track will not route.

Tracks at 0,45 and 90 tend to (but not always) have better chances of not
infringing on clearances

Why? I would do it exactly as the picture shows. There would be an
extremely short straight bit within the as yet unconnected pad, and I
would prefer the track coming off the corner of the pad to prevent an
angle of less than 90 degrees between the track and pad to stop etch
solution inclusion in the angle. Any high reliability application will
require that this situation be avoided.

A pic says a thousand words. :-)

That's the interactive router getting in the way. There used to be a way
to switch to free routing, but that looks like it's gone.

The legacy toolset works, but remember to turn off limit to 45 / 90 etc
in preference.

Another way to get around this in the modern toolset , and it's an awkward
kludge...

On one of the pads create a sort stub of track, then end the track
function. Place the curson on the end of the stub and from the right
click menu select drag (free angle)

JP:
That looks correct to me since the pads are not aligned.
