Bug - When measurements changed mm to inches

Hi,

I have noticed some bug when using inches as compared to mm. Am using 9.14 but noticed it before on an Emblaser 2.

When I am in mm the software works as expected but when I change to inches I notice -

1 - the speed and z-speed remain in mm/sec
2 - actual movement in inches is not reflected correctly. In the video here I home the laser, set the distance to move at 20mm and then depress down arrow 5 times and right arrow five times - moving the head by 100mm in the X and Y direction. The new position is reflected correctly as 100, 200 (origin was 0, 300).

I then rehome, verify that the position is 0,300 and then change to inches. The X and Y position though remain as 0, 300. I change the distance to 1 inch and once again depress the down and right arrows 5 times each. When I Get Position it shows as 0.197, 0.268. I rehome and the position is the 0, 0.465.

After I stopped recording, I did moved the head in 1 inch intervals getting the position after each move -

Home - 0, 0.465
1 Down - 0, 0.426
1 Down - 0, 0.386
1 Down - 0, 0.347
1 Down - 0, 0.308
1 Down - 0, 0.268
1 Right - 0.039, 0.268
1 Right - 0.079, 0.268
1 Right - 0.118, 0.268
1 Right - 0.157, 0.268
1 Right - 0.197, 0.268

Would appreciate if you could investigate.

Thanks

Steve
