While that is virtually guaranteed to happen Chris, my point is that once the G38.2 move has detected a closure, stopped the named axis and recorded the machine state, the usefulness of the probe has been fulfilled, so why the heck should it care one way or the other when the machine tries to do a g0 z[#5063 +0.02] in order to back off and retry the G38.2 with a much smaller Fspeed to get a fine tuned position that doesn't have as much overshoot it it due to the machines stopping distances. It shouldn't care about the probe status when its making a non-probe related move. It does care while executing the following G00 or G01 move, and its reporting the probe break error down in the lower right corner and aborting the program. One thought I just had was to kill the move blending by a G34? P1 as the next move, forcing a full dead stop after the G38.2. I'll do that in an hour or so and see if that fixes it.
