I've never observed this behaviour, but presumably it's because 5.08mm is about the width of one of the pads on the "T"-shaped section, and it falsely detected

I've never observed this behaviour, but presumably it's because 5.08mm is about the width of one of the pads on the "T"-shaped section, and it falsely detected a movement when there was none?

It's much weirder than that: you can close and open the vernier in a particular fashion (very slow and then very fast, it's an art) and keep adding 5.08mm in quantum steps: 5.08, 10.16, 15.24. The largest value I got on a boring day was around 200mm, on a 150mm vernier.

  I'm kinda surprised it doesn't self-reset when closed and then opened fully. That would be a very easy way to automatically 'fix' any location ambiguity with software-only changes.

    Yes, as noted, it probably is some shared firmware bug, it's just too consistent across vendors.

    It would need some form of precise detection for that event, which would be expensive.
