Sebastian, I am not using gantrykins anymore, I wrote my own kinematics module, because I needed also to compensate for nozzle length offsets along X and Y, when it was tilted around A and B, and there I hardcoded joints 0 and 1 to X axis. This behavior was observed approximately a year ago - last summer I installed EMC on it and the machine is not operational since last November (I am desperately struggling to bring it back to life, but that is totally different story), so I cannot test gantrykins at the moment and I do not really recall, which EMC version that was. What I do remember is that I was able to jog with arrow buttons and, if I switched back to Manual control after jogging in MDI, EMC jumped to joint mode.
