I unfortunately am unable to provide a project file at this time. If the issue is not easily replicated, I will reinstall 5.3.1 and send the project file.

Thanks for the report.
This is a known bug in the last couple of versions of Cura. There is a workaround.

• Disable "Generate Supports"
• In the Mesh Fixes section disable "Remove Empty First Layers"
• Re-enable "Generate Supports"

The setting is improperly hidden when Generate Supports is active.
I'll mark this as a duplicate of #14989 and close this as the Cura Team is aware of this bug. I hope you understand.
