Not sure if you can see all the text I pasted. Just launch any gscreen sim config from a terminal and you will see what I mean.

yes I know what you are talking of - it's a debug line I forgot to erase. fixed in 2.8 but has not been pushed up yet.

Off topic:
I wonder how common that is? (it doesn't make sense)
If lots of configs have that then my update-ini script (as modified last night) will go rather wrong.
Probably best that I realised sooner rather than later.
Basically, in the INI file I have:
[TRAJ]
COORDINATES = X Y Y Z

I have a gantry with turn-table and have coded: XYYZA

What's wrong with that configuration?I wonder how common that is? (it doesn't make sense)

All my gantry routers that have two motors on y axis uses this.
IT is actually quite common. What doesnt make sense?
Your script doesnt deal with two motors on one axis. You would have to query the user when script runs then govern accordingly. you are talking about your upgrade script?

I suppose it depends if the [TRAJ]COORDINATES setting is used in your HAL file.
(And what it does, if it is).
Repeated letters are just ignored in initraj:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/b948db.../ini/initraj.cc#L109
Where they just serve to decide which letters are valid in the G-code as far as I can tell.
halui uses it and _does_ count more axes if a letter is used twice:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/a048d6..._intf/halui.cc#L1441
(I wonder if it _should_?)
It copes reasonably well with any existing config using gantrykins or gentrivkins, because those make it easy to determine that its a paired motor config.

Andy I would say that most people would make the two lines the same?:
KINEMATICS = trivkins coordinates=XYYZ kinstype=BOTH
[TRAJ]
COORDINATES = X Y Y Z
And not know that the second line only sets what letter is valid.
Is there any time that the two lines would be validly different?
Ultimately should they be combined in the future?
