I've started experiencing strange filament volumes on Octoprint. I've figured out that since I upgraded to Cura 4.8.0, Cura is adding a "M82; absolute extruder mode" to my start gcode. I checked my printer settings and its not inserted by me to add to start gcode. I do have stuff added to my start gcode for Octolapse and ABL. The start Gcode I added myself starts with "; Script based on an original..." and ends with "G1 X5 Y20 Z0.3 F5000.0 ; Move over to prevent blob squish". I also tried using one of the default profiles in case this was a setting I adjusted but I get the same inclusion of the strange M82 regardless of which profile settings I use.
If I comment out the strange M82 then Octoprint correctly see the right filament volume.

Strange "M82; absolute extruder mode" being added to start gcode
in UltiMaker Cura

Hi, All.
I've started experiencing strange filament volumes on Octoprint. I've figured out that since I upgraded to Cura 4.8.0, Cura is adding a "M82; absolute extruder mode" to my start gcode. I checked my printer settings and its not inserted by me to add to start gcode. I do have stuff added to my start gcode for Octolapse and ABL. The start Gcode I added myself starts with "; Script based on an original..." and ends with "G1 X5 Y20 Z0.3 F5000.0 ; Move over to prevent blob squish". I also tried using one of the default profiles in case this was a setting I adjusted but I get the same inclusion of the strange M82 regardless of which profile settings I use.
