Workspace selector seems bugged

So I never used different workspace, I only ever used g54, but, I just saw a video where selecting a new zero coordinate might be helpful.
So I tried selecting g55, but it seems that the selector top right jumps to g54, even though in the console and or zero works as expected.
So that would be very bad and confusing not knowing on what workspace I am.
Just me?

I use that function all the time in 1.2.2, but that version is ancient history now. (I have various fixtures located within each workspace.)

What version are you using?

Iā€™m on 1.4.5

Hereā€™s some text to fill the minimum of 20 caracters needed :cry:

Nothing on this yet? Not even a, weā€™re looking at it?

I donā€™t know if some of my long-winded verbage about my workspace management will help, but here it is.

If I remember correctly, there were problems in the software before 1.2.2, where the indicator etc. on screen would default back to P1 (G54) after every program stop. They fixed that to my knowledge. Perhaps it snuck back in?

Macros For My Workflow

Weā€™ve looked at it and arenā€™t experiencing the same thing as you - workspace selection is working as expected. Do you see the G5X command sent in the console when selecting a new workspace? What does $G report as the current workspace modal? I seem to remember you running on non-standard GRBL so there might be some differences there.

i do see it changing in the console, itā€™s only the selector top right that stays on g54 no matter what i select
also, iā€™m not sure how the board and itā€™s firmware could affect the software

Here i recorded a short video, please let me know if i have to do something to fix it. Follow my mouse ā€¦
i forgot to mention, i believe the board has GRBL 1.1

Me too. Just upgraded today to 1.4.8. Expect that to fix the bug. Error persists. Same as juliancalinā€™s video. Iā€™m on Windows 10, 64bit.
Yes shows correctly in lower right console window. NOT in upper right ā€œWorkspace:ā€ selector window.
Very unsettling. I do not keep the console window open. Not confident I changed to the correct workspace.

What board/software is controlling your machine?

why does that matter? from my understanding itā€™s the software that does not change the G number in the upper right selector

Annoy tools brand. Came with Lunyee 3018 mill. https://a.co/d/ccf8fsj at Amazon.
In gsender console, the ā€œheartbeatā€ shows the workspace was changed.
Seems like the selection list goes back to the top of the list. Somebody forgot to update the ā€œcurrent selectionā€ field.

Iā€™ve got an idea on this, @iuliancalin could you go to settings ā†’ export settings, and send me the generated file? It would help me to better see if itā€™s something thatā€™s getting stuck up thatā€™s unique about your setup

Sure will do as soon as I get there.

As promised here are my settings and if needed export of the firmware too.

Note, everyting else works as expected, up to the tool change wizard , i posted a question here Tool change wizard isn't working as it should? , not a big deal on this one, just a bit weird.

@iuliancalin I gave it a try and the dropdown still was able to work fine for me :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

Here, I re-exported your settings file. Maybe if you go to settings ā†’ import settings and then load in this file it might help with your problem?

i have the same board at home, i tried with the settings you gave me, but it is the same effect, the selector jumps back to G54 no matter what i select in the list, it does update in the console, but i canā€™t have different zero coordinates on multiple workspaces
how can that be on 2 different pcā€™s :roll_eyes:
iā€™ll try an older version ā€¦

Edit: i tried version 1.2.2 it does the same thing, workspace selector jumps to G54 no matter what. Also with the same board connected on the same port i tried candle, and it works as expected

@iuliancalin are you still experiencing this issue on the latest version of gSender, v1.4.10?

i do, itā€™s even worse actually
i have given up on this, i did some macros to save different zeros for multiple opā€™s
itā€™s so weird that it does not work

also, i had 1.3.9 before, in that versions i had spindle control, i could start and stop on the bottom right controlls and also while doing a job, but with 1.4.10 itā€™s gone, iā€™ve looked into settings and firmware and nothing seems to have changed

Are you saying the spindle area is not showing for you anymore?

This area?

i took a better look today and it was turned off in the settings after update, it works again.

now the workspace selector acts verry strange. i donā€™t know how to explain, but, if i select g55 and try to zero, it changes on the g54, even tho in the console it says g55 but then i change to g54 and itā€™s not zeroed :roll_eyes:
i really donā€™t understand this behavior.
i tried to search for a board but nothing that i can find, any recommendations?
maybe something with usb c that works out of the box with Gsender?
