Cropping at edge of build plate

Hi

While printing an object that was close to the edge of the build plate I was surprised to see that the helper tab and brim were cropped back some distance from the line denoting the limits for printing. It's not that long since I did a recalibration after installing a new heater block after one of the leads failed (it's done about 120 days of printing so far) so rather puzzled. I have another job to do soon that is 250mm wide so I need to be able to go right up to the line. I've done that before with no problem. Any ideas?

Thanks

Helper tabs are shapes (right click on the buildplate with nothing selected in Prusa Slicer) that you can add to the build plate to stop corners lifting. The room where the printer is is not very warm so the tendency to lift off a corner is higher. I really must get an enclosure for it.
