G92 Not Loading On Startup in Python Interface

Hello all.

I think I've found a bug. Hopefully this is an alright place to talk about it.

I've been working on a custom interface, written in Python. It of course relies on the linuxcnc Python library ( API here ) for most everything to work. The issue I'm seeing is that sometimes this library does not always correctly poll the G92 and G5X (work coordinate system) offset on startup (status.g92_offset[x] returns 0.0 for all axes, same for status.g5x_offset[x]), until either a G92 command is given or the coordinate system is switched. However, the G-Code interpreter is loading the offsets properly and is using them.

The result is that the coordinates displayed in my interface do not always match the interpreter, which can be a big problem.

Has anyone else run across this and know of any solutions?

Thanks!
