Knife tool not working?

I'm new to Blender and I'm following a video on how to model a female anime body, all was going great, but when I tried to use the knife tool I started having problems.

First off the knife tool doesn't clip to the corners (corner points*) for some reason (or to the lines I want them to clip to).

The upper cut point has been manually done and the lower cut point doesn't snap to the corner point, but instead to something else.

Second, when I select where I want to cut it, it adds an extra cutting point. (for example if I select the corner or just a bit under the corner it would add a 3rd point alot higher, making an almost finished triangle or an A without the horizontal line in the middle).

I select where I want to cut.

I select where I want to cut. This is the line it shows, as you can see I couldn't clip to the corners or it clipped to something else.

This is the result of it, as you can see it adds an extra cut above where I clicked.

I can't reproduce the extra cut shown as a line and a dot, but you can see that it makes the cut alot higher than where I selected it. (Or it still does but doesn't show)

If I put the cutting point under the corner it does the exact same.

I use Blender version 3.5.1 from Steam.

I want to make a belly button and I want to make quads from the belly button as I heard it was easier to model with quads.

Am I doing something wrong, is my file corrupted or is the tool just bugged?
