Slide Software Output

Hi everyone,
I'm using Slide for slope stability analysis and have noticed that multiple layers of Factor of Safety (FoS) results are generated during each iteration. In one of my models, I observed that the FoS value displayed at the top does not match the critical FoS shown in the detailed output. I also noticed that the font of the topmost FoS value appears different, which raised some concerns.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Could it be related to overlapping result layers or export settings?
I've attached an output image for reference.
Thanks in advance for any insights!

I have been using Slide software since 2017 and have encountered a similar issue in the past during slope stability analysis. The underlying critical factor of safety changed twice unexpectedly. I was able to resolve the problem by resetting the software. I recommend trying a reset—it should fix the issue.
 
I’ve also encountered issues with the Slide software when converting to PDF. The slip circle shifted and did not follow the same trendline, and the soil parameters table was displaced. Personally, I prefer SLOPE/W over Slide due to its consistency and reliability.
 
I am a frequent user of Slide and experienced the same issue with the Factor of Safety (FOS) being modified last year. However, since then, I haven’t encountered the problem again—everything has been working well.
