Gaps in Spiral Vase print

Any idea what Cura setting is causing this? Its's happened to me a few times when trying spiral vase prints. The GCode has the machine speed up for a few mm at the end of each lap, and it causes what you can see in the image.

Same thing happened for me. I think I tried no retractions, no combing, no retraction plugins and it still happened... I think.
They released 14.12 the other day. Don't think this was in the release notes, but try it anyway.

Same results with new Cura.
I guess my next step is to blow the dust off of plain old slicer and try it again (been a year +). Does it even have a spiral perimeter option? I guess I'll find out.

I've seen this issue before with prints like this, but I haven't done enough tinkering to figure out exactly what the problem is yet...
Try setting your minimum layer print time to 40 seconds. That way if the layer takes less than 40 seconds to print the printer will automatically slow down. This may help, or this may give you the same problems but just slower. It's worth a try though.
I'll see what else I can find out as well in the meantime.
