Description

What were you doing?

When visualizing a gcode file generated using G10/G11 retractions, the retractions are not shown in OctoPrint's GCode Viewer.

What did you expect to happen and what happened instead?

I expected to see the retract/restore visualizations, but none were displayed.

Research direction

The issue names OctoPrint's GCode Viewer and G10/G11 firmware retract and restore commands, but no files or tests. Start by reproducing the problem with a G-code file containing those commands and tracing how the viewer parses and renders them. Done means retract and restore movements are visibly represented in the viewer.
