Have you reported it to Cura?

I don't think it's a Cura problem ... I think it's me the novice
I loose way too much time and material on printing supports that are
1) way too "heavy duty"
2) sometimes not even touching the model
If I look at the test file from Creality (Test-dog) it has some very very thin walls in the support - I can't find the property that gives me the same thin walls.
The are so much work after printing removing the support and sometimes the surface doesn't look very nice !
What do you do to get the printed fisure look nice and smooth ... use heat gun or "acetone-champer" ?

Now I found a video on YouTube explaining a little of the Cura settings - but I still don't get it right ...
Cure shows exactly the support where you would exspect it by the red color.
take a look here - it's red too on the similar faces in the symmetry.
The support is NOT touching the model and SOMETIMES it's NOT symmetric like the model and not ALL red faces are supported ... I don't get it !
Any ideas ?

Are you manually adding support into the model design or letting Cura figure out the best way to add supports? Personally, I use the Custom Support tool in Cura to add supports where I want them, depending on the model.

I did not know this searched, You-Tube found a good video an learned even more watching video.
Still a little rusty get the support aligned and sized, though even settling for the rough custom supports I like.
