Is this an unreported bug in EMC?


Hi All,,

I once again have my machine up and running on the EMC.  I have a few
things to tweak such as the steps per inch and backlash but it will run
programs and generally act like a CNC machine.

I'm usually pretty good at finding bugs in equiptment and I found one (I
think) within the first two minutes of running the EMC.  Here is what I
found...  While in the manual mode when I press a jog key then press
another jog key on another axis the origional axis will not stop moving
when the keys are released.  It takes another press and release of the
origional axis key to stop the axis from moving.  This happens with any
combination of axis motion keys on my machine including the page up and
down keys to move the z axis...  I don't like this behavior.  The arrow
keys, especially, are much too easy to press more than one key at a time
with big fingered hands like mine.  I personally like my machine to stop
when I take my fingers off the jog keys.  Is this isolated to my machine
or are others experiencing this?

All I was trying to do was jog two axes at the same time...  This would
be good for long hands off jogs but I doubt that was the origional
intent.  BTW, I have modified my behavoir as to avoid this problem, but
those arrow keys are mighty close together.
