Tool change .ngc brakes the ability to use "run from here"

Using the latest stable version, and after so much time in setting a tool change of a umbrella type changer in a vertical mill, all implemented with a sub routine with a lot of "if" "endif", linuxcnc now does not have the ability of using "run from here".
When I try to use it, strangely, all the tool changes before the line that I choose to "run from here" are executed (toolchange is simply executed without any actually machining).
I also notice that although I am executing the "main program", in normal machining, the name of the program that appears on the window name is the tool change file, in my case "change.ngc"

There is any "best practice" for implement a tool change with a sub routine? Or a sub routine should be avoided?
We choose to use a sub routine because we got the need to issue G0 G1 and it looked the best way to go.



Thank you

You might need to exit the tool-change routine if the system on the basis of:
#<_task> - 1.0 if the executing interpreter instance is part of milltask, 0.0 otherwise. Sometimes it is necessary to treat this case specially to retain proper preview, for instance when testing the success of a probe (G38.x) by inspecting #5070, which will always fail in the preview interpreter (e.g. Axis).

Can you (debug, #<_task> and see if that gives different values in the two cases?

Hi.

In both cases, running the program from start or using "run from here" the #<_task> variable is always 1.

There goes that idea, then. Sorry.

Which LinuxCNC version? We can see if it is a new problem, or a solved problem, or neither.

The problem persists here. In fact is the only problem that we actually currently face.

Hi
We have the same issue on 2.7.14 on the milling machines, they use the manual toolchange function so hasn't really bothered us.
We have two lathes also running 2.7.14, but I don't recall having that issue on them.

Wow! can't believe it, I have made some tests and found that not only remapping M6 code does the problem also remapping the T code too so I just made a call to the tool change macro instead and the problem persists(replaced Txx M6 with o<change> call).
This machine needs to make tool changes and it is very needed to some times running from a second, third and so on tool. Hope someone can give us a workaround?.
