[Intial Layer Horizontal Expansion not working...]

So I have been experimenting with the new Initial Layer Horizontal Expansion to get rid of my small Elephants foot issue.    I printed the 20mm calibration cube with (-0.5mm, -1.0mm and -2.0mm) settings and all three cubes came out identical still with the foot.  The width at the foot is 20.65mm and 19.85mm for the rest of the walls.   

 

Have I misunderstood the settings?

 

PS.   double checked and Horizontal Expansion is at 0mm.

Hi @radyeus

 

I'm finding exactly the same thing, same printer,  except with Cura 4.8.

 

When I make "Initial Layer Horizontal Expansion" positive, I see the results in Preview.

 

But making it negative, even -2mm, nothing happens with Preview, and the actual print still has elephants foot.
