Drowning orb not backing up correctly from player

Hello,
Drowning orb are behaving incorrectly, especially in originator map (were i tested it the most). On the wiki https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/The_Eater_of_Worlds#Strategy it state :
"The moving Drowning Orbs in the arena inflict a debuff called "Drowning" on contact, which causes an action speed slow and automatically kills the player after 3 seconds if they do not move away in time. While facing away from Drowning Orbs, they will slowly float towards the character; when facing towards them, they will back up a fixed distance away."

the part here:
"they will back up a fixed distance away"

as show in this video https://youtu.be/Cxn6KpLUcNE during the first second i'm walking toward the orb, and it is not moving an inch. Multiple time i have been stuck where orb are not moving away from be but just freeze in place, something might be acting on the "fixed distance" and make it really low ?

I tested it in an empty room, facing away from it, it move toward me, i turn around and it just freeze and not move away. This can be really annoying when playing and more so in tight corridor map as you just can't go pass them.
