Some problems with probe basic lathe was created by Ismacr63
The Probe Basic Lathe screen in full-screen mode is cut off and doesn’t display completely, which is a bit annoying.
Another issue I’m seeing is that the on-screen keys stop working after referencing the machine, and I have to home it again to get them working.
Also, the arrow keys only respond when clicking with the mouse in certain specific areas.To have the spindle rotate at a default speed of X RPM, I set, but without success. When I press the Forward button, it spins by default at a very low RPM.
Finally, for some reason, the subroutines don’t work at all.I’m running the latest update and have replaced the Probe Basic Lathe folders.

In simulation mode, the screen looks the same, the subroutines don’t work, and I honestly haven’t tried the movement with the arrow keys.

what subroutines?
for reference i just installed the latest version on my test pc clean and everything is working as expected in all of the sims. which tells me the build is good. so this is likely a configuration error. but i would want some verification in the sims from you before we discount an installation error.
as for the screen size mode, probe basic is designed to be run full screen only to take advantage of every square mm or screen space for machine use. that will not change in the main branch as that is how i use my machines in their dedicated form and how i setup PB to be used. you could modify it but that will mean you are on your own or will have to remodify things any time you run an update.

Any conversational subroutine, such as Turning. I enter the parameters, and when I press the Turning button, nothing happens.
I always use the screen in full-screen mode, but if you look at the image I uploaded, the bottom part is cut off. This doesn’t happen in Probe Basic Mill.
Tomorrow I’m going to uninstall and reinstall the latest version and replace the files again.

ah yes you have a slightly older version i did notice that after an edit and resolved it already, if you are apt installed a simple sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade will install the latest fixes, no need to reinstall everything.

I’ve updated and replaced all the Probe Basic Lathe files and copied my configuration into the folder (HAL file, INI, and postgui). Everything is still the same. The bottom part of the screen is cut off (in PB Mill it displays correctly), the on-screen movement arrows don’t work unless I perform a home after referencing the machine, The conversational section doesn’t work, and the default RPM isn’t shown (for example, S500 in the INI file). It’s the same in simulation mode.

ok i found the resolution issue again it was another rogue widget with an expanding policy. I have capped max height for all tab widget pages now so that shoud never happen again and the height will display correctly . I am getting ready to push the latest changes.
as for buttons working im not sure, the machine must be out of estop (estop button showing red is out of estop ( so its easy to find if you need to hit it).
power button must be on Green lit
and the machine must be homed in order for buttons to be available in the sim
report back on those.
