"perimeters extrusion width" always same as nozzle diameter, regardless of layer height #1313

I sliced the _40x10.STL part at a bunch of various layer heights. The extrusion width written at the top of the gcode changes with layer height - except the "perimeters extrusion width", which is always 0.35mm. That's the same as my nozzle diameter. Is that a bug in current git head?

Why do you define it bug? It's an intentional change in how the automatic default width is generated. Not a bug ;)

OK! :) I wasn't sure it was even possible to extrude filament to the nozzle diameter width that accurately when low layer heights squashes the extruded filament, but I never tried. I guess this has to do with why the single wall calibration object wasn't printed with a single layer wall, as mentioned in my other issue report, #1310.
