Dogbone does not output G1 commands for square shapes

As the title says, dogbone operation does not output G1 commands for square shapes, neither a notification message.
My guess is the algorithm cannot distinguish the larger or shorter length to put dogbone edges on.
Maybe they need an axis preset in this particular case?

When creating a simple square with both Width and Height having equal values, when using Dogbone Slot, the output code skips tool path entirely, looking like this:

To replicate:

  • Open MM and create a project.
  • Use any device with any setting.
  • Create a Rectangle having SAME Width and Height.
  • Create a Dogbone Slot operation using any tool and setting.
  • Preview, run or export gcode. The tool path is missing!
