How to enable retracts everywere?

Hi, all.

I have found that Cura makes some travel movements without retract. For example, the movements between inner walls, between infill, etc. If the length of these movements too high, the nozzle is lost some amount of material and then I have not enough material when print begins.
I tried to set the minimal distance of travel movements without retract by parameter Retraction minimum travel, but found that this parameter cannot be visible in my settings because has been hidden by active machine (see screenshot). What it means and how to solve it?

Would somebody explaine how to set retract minimum travel distance and enable retract everywere but not only on outer wall?

    You are searching for the "combing" option. Disable combing, and Cura will always retract and make straight travel moves. You can also let it enabled but set the max. distance without retract to a low, but non-zero value.

    Yes, the combing mode is disabled. But no retcracts on the inner walls and infill.

    This is all settings available for me in this section now.

    Did you mean that I need enable it and set Max Comb Distance With No Retract low? As I understand this parameter not working without combing.

    Hm, that's really strange... Cura still makes travel moves without retracting?

    Yes. 

    I thought that if I disable combing and set the Retraction minimum travel distance, I can control the retract. But this parameter is not available for me (see screenshots).

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.

      • Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released
        Cura now supports Method series printers!
         
        A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
