Yeah, I recognize this problem. I also work on a Mac and I think it has something to do with the fact that on Mac OS not all the screens are shown sometimes. As long as one parameter has not been filled in yet, Cura doesn't start slicing. For instance, if you backspace the layerheight and you don't set a value for it, Cura doesn't slice.
So, I think that in a 'hidden' window you still have an undefined parameter. This escpecially happens with the dropdown menu for selecting the support!! This dropdown menu acts like it is a different screen and doesn't show up all the time. So then it looks like everything is filled in properly but in fact the dropdown menu is still in it's 'select your choice'-state.
You can 'fix' this by clicking on the Cura logo down in the programsmenu. Then it should show all the screens.
thanks for your comment!
I wish it was that simple........!
I always make sure that the dropdown menus are opened and nothing is hidden
its not it.. its more complicated.. I believe there is more leftover files of cura that keep STAYING in my mac and untill I not deleting them it will stay like that...! I'm just not sure which files..
I already tried to deeply UNINSTALL it few times and i still get this problem...! =/
