Okay, I did recheck what happens and I was correct in what I described.
Here is another thing I tried:
In the Rapid Line Format G00, instead of replacing the G00 prefix with a "/", I just ignored this, because no {G} will be used at all. What I did is relace the X with a /X prefix, a Y with a /Y prefix, and a Z with a /Z.
So the Start lines field displays simply as follows:
{X} {Y} {Z}
But the prefixes are all changed as described above.
This seems to work right for Rapid mode, but unfortunately this /X or /Y or /Z gets retained as the "permanent prefix" for Feedrate mode, too.
I notice that this "universal prefix" rule does not seem to apply to the {G}, for example, in G00, it will retain the "/" if I put it in, and if I then go to the G01 setup and check the prefix that is associated with {G}, it can be different, or blank as I desire.
Perhaps you can fix is so that the XYZ prefixes remain associated uniquely with each setup field.
