"Synchronize with object layers" support option availability is unclear

[Darkmann12]

What happened?

I can click however many times on the checkbox I want, it is not greyed out, and it just will not check/enable. When you hover over the box, it also does not show any tooltip.

Navigate to print settings -> support material and attempt to check the relevant checkbox.

Synchronise with object layers is only available when the contact distance is zero, ie "soluble".

Also for me on Windows 10 when it is not available the box IS greyed out and DOES have a tooltip.

When its disabled the tooltip doesn't show over the box, you have to put your cursor over the item itself.

In which case it might be some difference within the colour schemes - the attached screenshot shows the box is not greyed out in dark mode. That's the only real difference I can think of

[Darkmann12]

Only upon switching to None to activate the option does it become apparent to the user that it's unavailable in modes other than None. I suppose it's something to make more clear in the UI, but other than that, the issue isn't the issue that I thought :D

That's in darkmode, in lightmode the boxes work as expected. IIRC I've seen an existing issue either here or on the PS github about the checkboxes not displaying correctly in dark.

Ok neat. Although I do also wonder why the option is unavailable with anything other than None. It's not as if the main bulk of the support can't be printed in sync, with only the interface (and perhaps a single preceeding layer) being offset...

Ah ah prusa3d#8664
As for it being disabled, its always done that and is what PS does with it too.

Edit _ also found this prusa3d#8877 which says its fixed in PS 2.7.x so when Merril has done the merge/update for 2.7 then I guess it should also be fixed.
