Layer Gaps in Preview when using Multiple Layer Heights

I noticed in simulation/preview that a gap appeared between layers of different heights. The setup is basically two processes:

1) Layer Height = 0.2mm; STOP print height = 0.8
2) Layer Height = 0.3mm; START print height = 0.8mm

It seems like the slicer will only put 0.2mm layers on 0.2mm z-intervals (e.g., 0.1mm, 0.3mm, ....) and 0.3mm Layers on 0.3mm intervals (0.15mm, 0.45mm...). So with the settings above you get a gap between the layers since the 0.2mm layers will extend to 0.8mm, but the 0.3mm layer will only start at 0.9mm.

Does this seem expected or am I doing something wrong when changing layer heights on the same model?
