Scoop results in unnecessarily thick front wall #263

For some reason as soon as I use subdivisions with a scoop, the front wall is much thicker than it needs to be.
Consider this sample 1×1×6 bin:

use <src/core/gridfinity-rebuilt-utility.scad>
use <src/core/gridfinity-rebuilt-holes.scad>

$fa = 8;
$fs = 0.25;

gridfinityInit(1, 1, height(6), 0, 42) {
    cutEqual(1, 1, place_tab=1, style_tab=0, scoop_weight = 1);
}
gridfinityBase([1, 1], hole_options=bundle_hole_options(
    refined_hole=true, magnet_hole=false, screw_hole=false, 
    crush_ribs=true, chamfer=true, supportless=true), only_corners=true);

As soon as scoop_weight is nonzero, the front wall is much thicker than the others:

grafik

The front 1×1 bin has scoop_weight=1 , the rear 1×1 bin has scoop_weight=0 (and thin walls), the 2×1 bin has scoop_weight=0.5 (and thick walls).

Is there a bug in cut() or block_cutter() that leaves a thicker front wall as soon as a scoop is in place?

Ah, I get it now, the entire wall with the scoop is thicker to align with the front lip at the top, similar to what you get with Gridfinity Extended with the fingerslide_lip_aligned option.

It would be nice if this was configurable.
