Hello, does anyone else have this issue?, I'm trying to clone a part of a straight line onto another small part but it changes the angle ever so slightly so it never matches up..

Yes, using too large chunks is what many do wrong - I can see this in classes when I introduce the tool. Also make sure you are in repair mode. For the current sample posted here, the Feather was on 0 - IMHO, Feather is one of the keys of this tool which can decide to produce good results or garbage. For areas like the blue sky with no details but with gradient, i suggest to crank Feather up.

That would be an explanation. However, I have a hard time to believe that such a bug was left undiscovered ....
It would make sense that the Spot Removal tool should be one of the last things applied in the image processing chain. But there may be performance issues using the After state bit map rather than simpler original data (Before State) bit map. Just a guess.
There was a similar issue due to the Local Controls being applied first and Global controls last:
Re: How to combine different saturation sliders?
If a Local setting was applied that caused image highllghts to become clipped they were not recoverable using any of the Global controls. This was fixed in one of the upgrades (LR 5?).
Ok I will try that when I have a small window tomorrow. but for now, I was having a little play around again and I tried to take small cross sections. Rather than do one big vertical line, I took small horizontal lines slightly overlapping one another and it seemed to work much better. I still need to take a little extra time to do some perfect matching but I think with that patience i could achieve more of what I'm after. But will still be interesting to see if your theory works to trshaner. But I also agree with @F. McLion that such bug should be fixed if indeed true.
Here is my screen shot of my play earlier.

You can do that, but it will only work with clone areas that aren't significantly different. Here's an example using an Export copy with all settings applied except Spot Removal. Then apply Spot Removal to the copy image or use Edit in PS, which has better tools for this purpose.
