Over Extruding with an AnyCubic Mega S and Cura 4.4

· Over Extruding with an AnyCubic Mega S and Cura 4.4
Hi and welcome!
You can try if it is better when you turn off combing (search for the setting in Cura)
For me it seems it is a normal travel move inside the object and therefore no retract happens, because it doesn't matter. With combing off, the printer should retract also when traveling inside the object.
I am not sure if there are more settings with an effect on the retract, I normally don't care about it.
To avoid just the line on your first picture you can set combing to not in skin, that you don't have such lines on the top surface for example.

Thank you very much... This has fixed my issue.
I am very grateful for your help and so will my grandson whose xmas present I am trying to print. I know I am cutting it fine to be ready for the day, but the printer was an early present for me 🙂

set combing to be "everywhere but skin". something like that.
Also in layer view, turn on movements (check the box). You can see which moves are retraction versus non-retracting (different shades of blue).
You want to make sure these moves are retracting moves (by default they are non-retracting and leave that line you don't like).
