slic3r-1.40.0-alpha1+
OS X 10.13.4
Slic3r generate strange support in this hole, even if support on build only activated.
Expected behaviour : support only on build plate



I think the supports system is in need of a major rewrite!
Same issue on windows version 1.40.0-b. But this was also an issue on 1.38.4. Even though Support on build plate only is selected, it is producing support on the object itself.
I see this too.

Slic3r 1.40.0+win64,
Same problem seen here as well, when slicing a simple sphere with a cut on the bottom (as an example).

Support on build plate only is selected, and I see two problems:
