Same here. It does this in Dec only, BTW. If you push a Dec button to move back to the object but overshoot it for a degree or so, then hit enter again to GOTO the object it will get it right. Definitely a software bug.

From preliminary testing this only seems to happen after 3-star alignments. I've never seen this after a 2-star alignment. Hence, if your cone error (sorry Gary, forgot the proper term again) is low don't bother with 3-star alignment.
