Jonny, your input is appreciated! However....I'm always in cont. mode, and still get the runaway.
Hood, I will try that tomorrow when I'm in the shop.
Thanks guys!

50,56,58, and 62. There was a runaway issue with the shift key that was fixed with an earlier SS update, so I just assume the problem lies with the SS, not Mach.

Very strange Hood. You did do the combination correctly. I have the 17d version also. I have also tried several versions of Mach, but not the ones you have.

I believe the smooth stepper had the issue you are describing a while back. I believe that one of the past plugin updates fixed the issue. I recently started using the smooth stepper, and also have a runaway problem. The shift (rapid) does not cause the runaway, but rather the control key. Hold the control key down, then hold one of the arrow keys down, release the control key while still holding the arrow key= runaway. I thought that I most likely had configured something incorrectly, and needed to dig a bit in order to find out my mistake. There is no way this bug could have slipped through I thought, because step jogging (ctrl key) is common place. I was talking with Brett the other day and mentioned the problem, and he too, confirmed the behavior on his machine. I have a USB SS and Brett has the ethernet SS, so it appears with both models. Also, using the ESC key for an E-stop does not always work when the runaway occurs. You must mouse over to the RESET on the screen and click it. Try figuring that one out in the heat of battle. My "fight or flight" senses were tweaked! It would be nice if another person could confirm this bug. Hood? Terry? Please and thanks in advance?

Yeah, but..... that don't even compare. I think the answer to that problem was just so simple, you overlooked it. :)

How do you keep so much knowledge and know-how in your head, Tweakie? I think your part Borg. I have trouble tying my shoes most days.

Wow. Kinda harsh. Editing about 240 files can do that, I suppose. That's O.K. though, I've been called worse. If you took my answer to your problem as rude, then I do apologize. I did indeed answer your simple problem, with a simple answer. I didn't really know what else to say. As said before, the standard is to have an extra line at the end of the file. That's industry standard, not just something Mach requires. There might indeed be controls that do not require it, but none that I personally know of. Thank you, have a very wonderful day.
