+Subject: Fixed issue with M3 laser state changes and coincident targets.
+
+[fix] When in M3 constant laser power mode, a change from G0 to G1
+would not set the laser on, if G1 was passed with a coincident target.
+Motion controller now checks for a coincident target situation and will
+force a spindle sync when detected.
