@HaroldL thanks for pointing to that dialog box! I had never seen it and spent 15 min. trying to find it, only to realize that it's apparently only available using the 'classic' menus (which I had not used for years). The post above actually pointed into that direction, if you took it word for...

Quick update from the original part: I tried the intended extrude (which seems to work under certain conditions, above) very carefully. It seems to work like a charm, IF there is one closed loop for the contour, and as many holes inside that loop as you like - image attached, Hooray! Feeling...
