APT new behaviour on change of filter focuser moves right out then back in

I don't know how I manged to confuse APT so badly (I swapped its assigned Camera and focuser to let it auto focus my colour camera and Moonlight focuser. Then I reverted everything back to the mono ZWO camera, filter wheel and focuser.

Now there is this weird behaviour during a filter change (with a relative offset of say 20 - 90 from the refernce Luminance frame). It had to move from 4097 to 4047 when the imaging plan changed to Red - but it didt that by moving out to around 5997 (which must be near its limit) then comming all the way back to 4047!?!

I even noticed this on a best of two runs auto focus - and some times it tries to send the focuser past its limits and kills the imaging plan as the focuser can't get to wherever in limbo it is trying to send it!

Anyone got an idea of why it is moving out so incredibly far - and more importantly how to tell it to stop this behaviour!
