In 2.79 there is no such thing, it normally cuts according to my form.
i download new version 2.80.47
blender-2.79.0-git.7ad367d0231d-windows64

The result should be a cut according to the shape that I drew on the cube as it was done in the screenshot at 2.79, at 2.80 it turns out that after clicking on Enter.

I still can't reproduce this. The knife tools cuts as I expect it to on the default cube.

I asked many who use 2.8 for all, it works fine. It's very strange why it works for me. I will try a clean build without addons in the evening. Perhaps there is a bug. I also tried on the plane and got the same strange result.

Hi. You no see this bug if you use default unit scale 1.0, change this as my 0.01 and you see this bug.

Marking this as regression from 2.79

Like mentioned in #65090 / #68713, this seems to be dependent on (wide angle?) view points, also origin locations?

Hi. This looks the same issue I added here.
https://developer.blender.org/T70293

I hope it will help to solve the issue.
I have also found that if I change Blender's window size then the issue will be able to disappear. It looks like it depends on specific viewport view + window size.

i ran into a couple of issues aswell today with the knife tool (2.80 release).
mostly happens when puting points on edges manually. going from vert to vert with no manual points set on edges seems to go fine.

I ran into this problem at work today as well (2.81a). It seems to have to do with the Unit scale as mentioned above. If I work in unit scale 1 it usually works. Unless my geometry have very small or large dimensions. Going lower or higher gives me strange results. Another thing that helped was switching to Orthographic view instead. Then I could cut without any errors.

I have re-triaged this report and can not reproduce it.
Can you please check if this is still an issue in latest build?
