Tool change odd behavior

I must have been using a custom M6 macro for tool changes. Nothing fancy, just stops the spindle and a window pops up and tells me which tool to put into the spindle, press cycle start to resume. That is how it used to work...
Now, it only tells me the first tool to insert with a window. The second tool it doesn't show a window but says which tool to insert. The third tool it just says paused, jogging is enabled, and doesn't stop the spindle.
I wished I saved my old installations but I did a fresh install and lost all that stuff.
I'm using a tool library with set tool heights so I don't need anything else.
I am using the Centroid post processor from Fusion360, I suppose this could be post processor issue.

Hi Keith, I will have to re-visit this at a later date, won't be around my machine for a bit, will give me time to read up on custom macros so I can probably recreate what I had. I am running the pre-release 64bit version.
