Unwanted top/bottom-layer behavior

[maurice 1]

I recently started using Cura 5.3.0 on an M2 Mac. I noticed some new (unwanted) behavior concerning top/bottom-layers. If I print a thin section in the bottom layer, the new top-layer of that section is printed separately with walls, although the pattern is the same as in the surrounding layer:

 

The next layer shows the border of the thin section:

 

 

 

I've not noticed this behavior before, but maybe I haven't printed thin sections in the bottom part before. However, I don't want this, because it does not look good, and it creates many extra print-movements. Can I turn this behavior off?

I see now that the older version of Cura I  use does the same thing. I also understand why it happens this way, but it is not always desirable...

 get this strange segment on the top of an object. In Prusaslicer its completely flat. What setting could have caused this? Cura 5.3 alpha+xmas.

Probably not a setting but a rounding issue with a non-flat surface. You could try slightly adjusting the layer height, or the initial layer height. Better yet: make the model truely flat on top, not "approximately flat".

Good Morning

@UltimakerSV06 that looks a lot like what is going on in This Bug Report on Github.  As @ahoeben mentioned it may be a rounding issue in the background calculations.  This problem has also been mentioned here in the forum.

Thx for the reply.
