Run-from-line and v.2.7.3

OK - More testing done. What I am finding is that LinuxCNC now looks in the touchoff subroutine and performs only the G38.2 even though the call to the sub is earlier in the gcode file. If I replace the call to the sub with the contents of the sub, run-from-line works as I expect (it doesn't perform the G38.2). If I remove the G38.2 from the sub, nothing else in the sub seems to matter when running from line.

Sample test GCode fle:
Touch-off routine:
If I run-from-line at "G01 X250.000 F2000.000", it will -Z until the probe switch is engaged and hold that Z position while moving X to 250.000.

I did remove preample and other info wanting to remove anything that may interfere with this test. Again - I haven't changed my setup, so I still wonder what has changed in v.2.7.3, but I can imagine that I can't understand the answer, too.

Thanks for any insight...

Yes, I have found that run-from-line does not work properly if you call subroutines (at least if there are also G38.2 moves as well). The only workaround I found was to not use subroutines.

What version of linuxcnc did this work on? Were you using subroutines there as well?

I am not 100% sure of the version previously, but believe it was 2.7.0. I don't update it very often and think it was September. And, yes, I used subroutines with the last version I had. I did not notice any issues then.

There may be more to it. After I placed the contents of my subroutine directly in the main file, I had another unusual reaction that I need to look at closer, but after I removed just the G38.2 from the main file, the run from line seem to raise the Z axis up suspiciously close to the touch-off switch offset of 9.9mm from the Z's current location even if Z was not at 0 or less than 0. The run-from-line did not raise the Z while the call the the sub was in place and the G38.2 probe only was removed from the sub routine.

Like I mentioned, I need to test that out more, too.

I did pull a backup in order to finish a job. It was v.2.7.0 which works fine. I never ran a version in between. I would rather not convert all current jobs to not use a subroutine.

Does this sound anything like your situation?

This is meant to _fix_ a bug. Perhaps you were getting lucky with the bug working in your favour?

While I admit that I don't fully understand the bug description, I believe mine does not match. It looks like the posted bug will skip some lines AFTER the line which is selected for run-from-line. What I have here is only a G38.2 that is in an external file subroutine that is called before the run-from-line.

There are times I get by because I have flat, uncut material under the torch. The torch drags a little while moving to the next pierce. There are times that the torch goes for this un-intended probe in a void of material, so that resulting drag would hit the edge of material and move it out of place. Basically ruining the job.

I will re-read the bug description a few more times to see what sinks in. If it is the same thing, I respectfully request the bug to be unfixed
