Why does my print begin in the middle of the object and not complete to the edges? (Prusaslicer)

Why do my prints not begin in the corners and jump around the layer? Is there a setting I am missing? This ends up being noticeable when the print finishes. (It does this on the top and bottom layers too)

Try using monotonic infill for top infill.

Edit: Monotonic infill will address the inconsistent top layer. It is an option in the new PrusaSlicer 2.3 release, currently at RC1. You can download it from the PrusaSlicer GitHub page.  If you don't want to use the pre-release version, try slowing down top layer infill and tweaking the top layer extrusion widths. Monotonic infill is the real fix though.

I'm sure it was a typo, but RC2 is current

Good catch! Usually, after I post about a pre-release the final is released. I've been using RC2 and am not encountering any issues.

Edit: Just checked and RC3 is out.

@bobstro

 I'm glad you posted that I hadn't checked in awhile.
