Hey @BobFrakes,
Thanks for your report 👍
Gyroid is a type of infill that introduces a lot of smaller segments.
You could be seeing a form of buffer underrun.
It would help if you could show a picture of what you've been seeing.

Good call @MariMakes.
@BobFrakes what printer are we talking about here? Are you printing via SD card, Octo, USB...?
Turns out that the two rods that the print head slides on were loose and one even came out of its bracket. Once I tightened them the loss of steps seemed to disappear.
Ah. It was Murphy.

The gcode tells the printer "where" to send the print head. It's the printer that determines the "steps" to send to each motor. Since there is no feedback loop to tell the printer/processor where the print head really is, the printer/processor has to use the number of steps as the location. If something like belt slippage happens there isn't any way for the processor to know about it so it merrily keeps sending information to the motor. It assumes that the print head is where it told it to go.
Have you opened the Gcode file in Cura? The gcode reader is separate from the slicer and if there are movement errors they will show up in the gcode preview.
