How to reproduce
- Enable Support with type normal(auto) [edit, was: manual] and disable Others->Prime Tower
normal(auto) - enable Support -> Advanced -> Independent support layer height
- enable Others -> Prime Tower
Actual results
after 2. in addition to the part layers, Orca introduces support layers at some odd heights after 3. the Option "Independent support layer height" is hidden but supports are still in separate layers with odd heights
side note: tree support is always generated on the same layers as the parts, no matter if the option is enabled.
Expected results
after 3. odd layers don't appear and support is generated at the same layers as the part.
as I learned from https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/issues/2806, hiding of the option "Independent support layer height" is intended because it is not compatible with prime tower. Yet, activating prime tower while the option is enabled seems to only hide the option but not deactivated it. It is at least irritating for the user to see those odd layers with no apparent way to get rid of them. Not making the option available while prime tower is enbaled probably serves some reason, that will

Tried it again in 2.1.1. It is still present. This should be a very easy fix, that avoids unexpected behaviour for some people

it causes me some issues, I wasted a lot of time. Standard layers has gap(see pictures) between normal layers when is sub-layer for support
I agree, this a confusing bug, i was looking for a way to control support layer height and did not know about this bug hiding the setting until i found this post.

It will be somewhat fixed in https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/pull/10697
But it's better to decide what to do with this option. I’d remove it completely, or at least set it to false by default.
