Cura: Incorrect UI description for Ironing Feature

Created on 19 Jul 2019  路  3Comments  路  Source: Ultimaker/Cura

Application version
Cura 4.1.0

Platform

(All?)

Printer

(Doesn't matter)

Reproduction steps

Hover mouse cursor over the "Enable Ironing" setting to view the description

Actual results

Cura 4.1.0's misleading description of Ironing (bolding emphasis is mine):

"Go over the top surface one additional time, _but without extruding material_. This is meant to melt the plastic on top further, creating a smoother surface."

Expected results

We would expect the ironing description to reflect the actual operation of the feature, something to the effect of:

"Go over the top surface one additional time, _while extruding a small amount of additional material_. This is meant to melt the plastic on top further, _while also filling any remaining small gaps_, creating a smoother surface."

(The "Ironing Flow" parameter defaults to 5%, so extrusion is enabled by default with Ironing.)

Additional information

See attached screenshots of misleading description in Cura software, and the more accurate feature description from the Cura 2.7 release announcement.
