    I am not sure what is causing the issue you are talking about. It would help if you could post a image of the problem.

    The Max link Gap ( % of Tool Dia ) being set to 5080 happens when you are running in metric.

    I may be wrong here, bu a % of a tool diameter in inch or metric would be the same. 200 is the default in inch, so I would change it to 200.
