Bridging Issue with Current Slic3r

I'll try my best to explain this but I've printed the same parts before but recently recreated the GCode using the Current version of Slic3r. Interestingly what it seems to be doing is do the 1 line at one end of the bridge then another at the other end, then it tries to fill the bridge by joining the two lines in the opposite direction as such it fails. I know it used to do the first layer of the bridge in one direction and now its only doing the ends and then trying to fill it in which isn't going to work with two thin strands of plastic.

Any thoughts?

Sounds like a bug. There was a similar bug a few versions back and the easiest work around was to rotate the model in slic3r so it calculates the bridges differently.

I've gone back to V7.0 Its a pain because I only discovered the problem on a Print that was pretty high and used 12meters of plastic!

Can confirm that V7.0 does the bridge differently to the Current version. I ended up going back to V7.0 for this particular GCode and it did the trick.

I'm sure Sound would appreciate a git bisect on this issue since you've found a way to reproduce it
