Behavior

I have a few suggestions, some to fix issues and other new ones. Sorry if these have been addressed before.
The first thing that keeps happening to me while support is when Im in manual editing mode for placing support points, sometimes I accidentally click on the info bar on the right. When you do this, it doesnt save any of your points. All the progress gets deleted and you have to start over. Pressing undo wont work either. Either make it so that it doesnt exit manual edit mode when you click the bar or it asks you if you want to save progress. Would be very helpful.

Next request is, inside the manual editing mode, please add an extra decimal to the head diameter slider. Sometimes the jump from 0.2 to 0.3mm is too bit but 0.25mm head diameter would be perfect. This is an easy fix and would be useful for everyone.

Lastly, I dont know if its possible within the slicer and Im sure this ones been requested before, but adding an indicator (such as in chitubox) that moves with the cursor to show the lowest point of the model would make manually supporting so much easier. I know theres somewhat of a shadow but sometimes its very hard to see.

Thank you
