I saw this duckling the other day, at first I thought it was trolling the swans so I stopped and watched. The swans didn't seem to care much and swam off.

The duckling continued chirping and swimming in tight circles. I thought maybe it only had 1 leg but I could just about make out it did have 2.

The mother duck didn't seem to care and was swimming further away until I remembered I had some duck food in my bag so I tempted her back towards the duckling. As soon as she and the the other ducklings got near the lone duckling darted straight towards them in a perfectly straight line so it can definitely swim ok.

The mother then carried on with the ducklings in tow, except for the lone one who got left behind again.

I came back later and it was still in the same area going around in circles with the mother just a bit further up.

Poor little dude :(

I wondered if perhaps it was blind or had bad eyesight since it seemed it could only see (or hear?) if they were close by, but quickly got left behind.

Multiple times a day Bambu Studio completely locks up with the only way to resolve it is to kill the process.

Things that cause it to lock up:

• trying to view the camera of any printer
• switching between printers on the Device tab
• Trying to send print job (see attached image)

Re: the last one, wtf even is the green message about? As you can see, the dialog is messed up, buttons/options missing. It's not possible to cancel anything, that's it, Bambu Studio is completely locked up at this point. If i'm really lucky it will completely lock up the entire laptop, can't clicking anything, alt+tab doesn't respond, keyboard doesn't respond, mouse moves but the screen is frozen. Only way out is to reboot, or sometimes a keyboard shortcut I created to kill Bambu Studio works. The laptop is absolutely rock solid when running anything else, so this is 100% Bambu Studio.

Things I've tried to do to resolve:

• Upgrade to latest version or reinstall
• Log out / log in
• Try deb, appimage or flatpak (on Linux btw)

These all tend to resolve it, kind of, because so does closing Bambu Studio and reopening it, so not sure if any of the above solutions actually achieve anything as ultimately it just happens again on the new version.

A similar thing happens on my Macbook too, BS constantly becomes laggy and unresponsive requiring killing of the process.

Anyone tried Orca Slicer with Bambu Cloud support or does that still suffer from the same issues? (The common denominator between all crashes is they happen when interacting/fetching data from the cloud so I assume the same could apply to Orca?)
