Update overlay caused laser to switch to absolute coordinates

LightBurn Software Questions
1

I got a new batch of plywood yesterday. Last night and this morning I have been running the Material Test feature. I use “Current Position” with the origin set at the lower right corner. After running a test, I will use the cameral control to “Update Overlay”. Reposition the laser. Then run an adjusted Material Test, framing goes to a strange position on the laser bed. I finally noticed that whenever I “Update Overlay” the “Start From” switches to “Absolute Coords”. Running version 1.5.01.

Why would updating the camera overlay need / want to change me to using Absolute Coordinates?

The standard use-case for updating the overlay is to use the overlay image to align graphics in LightBurn to material in your workspace. Aligning graphics using the camera overlay only works with “Absolute Coords” selected, so updating the overlay automatically switches to that Start From mode.
