System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.19045-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.6.0 NVIDIA 552.12

Blender Version
Broken: version: 4.1.1, branch: blender-v4.1-release, commit date: 2024-04-15 15:11, hash: e1743a0317bc
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
Simple deform when applied to a curve circle looks great, but really ugly when using the "apply to spline" option.

The follow path constraint however, only follows properly when that "apply to spline" option is checked, so it's not true then that it follows the visible path.

It should either be renamed, or fixed to follow the actualy visible path.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  1. Open the attached example.
  2. Change the offset factor on the Follow Path constraint.

Result:

The empty does not follow the path, but rather an invisible spline that is not deformed.

Expected:

Follow path should follow path.

Could be made more obvious, dont actually think this is a bug though, see #94780

Will close as a duplicate, please subscribe in #94780 if you want further updates (or comment there if you like)
