Tklinuxcnc switches to joint mode

Tklinuxcnc switches to joint mode was created by An
Hi linuxcnc, I am slowly upgrading to 2.8 from 2.5 and also to a mesa 7i96s. Everything seems ok but I have one question - I have always used tklinuxcnc but with 2.8.4 whenever you switch to mdi or auto it defaults to joint mode and if you try to change to world it reverts back to manual. Previously (2.5) this didn’t happen. I have also tried a standard pnconfig (ie without my kins file) and it does the same.
As always if anyone has thoughts I very much appreciate them!
thanks
ant
