Switching to Automatic Cage disables Bake button

I just upgraded to the latest version of SP and wanted to try the Automatic Cage
The moment i enable it the Bake Selected textures gets disabled even though it generates the cage in the preview . After this switching to any of the other Cage options keeps the button disabled , if i close the baking menu and then reopen it with my cage set to Distance Based it keeps the button disabled.
I need to close SP and reopen it for the button to come back as long as it was set to Distance Based.

I do have an error when loading the highpoly , it doesnt seem to be an issue when i baked with Distance Based Cage
[Scene 3D] [GenVertexNormals] : unable to compute normals because some triangles were too small in mesh Head_High1

Hey @Léna Piquet - Froyok
It's happening in multiple projects for me with different meshes.
Its even happening on old projects that have already been finished in a previous version of painter.
Like @orze said, it also occasionally works, but then breaks again.
I unfortunately can't share a mesh file as its under NDA.
This is very frustrating, as it's an awesome new feature!
I'm also now stuck working on a scene that worked once with the automatic cage but can now no longer re-bake...

Hi folks ! 👋

Does this issue happens all the time, or only with specific meshes/projects ?

We have tried to reproduce the issue on our side but so far we haven't faced a similar problem. If you can provide more details this could be helpful (like your log file, mesh file, etc).

so wierd thing i noticed is ONCE it just randomly let me bake. and then went gray again...so id guess its some wierd UI issue?

not sure how this bug happened but its wierd how it at random let me do it...i can also see the blue bar under the model load stuff at random. but it always just goes back to nothin.
