I’m happy to state that these issues should be resolved now in the latest 4.1.1 release. Our team successfully tested factory files from threads mentioning this issue with avoid crossing outlines' tool paths and with retraction values being gone or incorrect. You should not need to change any retraction settings to have the software function as desired once more. This was just one of many improvements to the software. All of which are detailed on our
Release Notes page.
Thank you for your help reporting this issue!
