At some point in the last update, the greyed out bounds indicating the allowance for the skirt/brim has stopped displaying and cura is allowing skirts/brims to extend outside the print area

Weirdly this issue doesn't seem to be affecting rafts though

I'm not aware of any setting to enable/disable skirt/brim size compensation

    Actually the path does not go outside the buildplate.; the brim and skirt are now truncated to the buildplate, precisely to prevent those grey areas that people did not understand. It is a feature, not a bug.

    Thank you so much for confirming that. That's actually a cool new feature, so thanks! I feel daft, but also glad my slicer isn't bugged out.

    Don't get too far ahead of yourself there. 5.4 might have some shiny new features but a lot of the time it will choke on anything complex and slice it wrong, missing parts or having random walls in places, stuff like that. The general advice around here is to stick with 5.3.1 until they release a patch for 5.4, unless you really need a feature added in 5.4 (and then have a good look over the preview before you print it).
