If you MDI a long move then try to jog, should the system follow the
move or the jog?
This might be the logic. I am not sure if it is great logic.

Touchy jogs just fine in the MDI screen if it isn't actually running a
command, so I suspect what you are seeing is an Axis decision.
(Axis, as a keyboard-based GUI,  does have the problem, in the MDI
tab, of trying to work out if you are typing MDI commands / editing
with the cursor keys, or keyboard shortcuts / arrow jogging.)

I seem to recall that someone had a way to make axis automatically
switch out of MDI mode when the pendant was used.
