Not sure where your problem is then as it seems to behave here with your xml when I simulate the input, well except the issue I have here with the active state not changing the LED, that however seems to be an issue with my computer here of which I have not found the answer yet.
So when I use your xml I simulated the Z home switch and pressed the Ref All button, the Z DRO started moving and then when I presses the switch it reversed until I released the switch and then it stopped and set home.

Just download the version you want to use and install, it will overwrite the current version. It is often wise to keep a backup of your xml and any custom macros etc that you may have in the unlikely event something goes wrong.

Have a look in the Ref All button and see what the script is, to do that go to operator menu then Edit Button Scripts and then you will see RefAll flashing, click on it and the editor will open.
