Using the manual control buttons, Up/Down changes Axis-2 Declination only as indicated by encoder values and Left/Right changes Axis-1 RA. However, the Eq Coordinates shown on driver's main control screen and on KStars map both change simultaneously in some way that is mysterious at the moment. Is this a configuration issue or a bug?

I am using a direct connection to the USB port on the CGX mount and not going through the hand controller, it that matters.
Ekos reports driver version 1.2. Is that the latest?
