I am not sure what you are talking about. What do you mean with 'the X-Y readout at the bottom of the screen......, the two references do not agree'? The left X-Y readout refers to the absolute zero point, while the right X-Y readout refers to relative zero, the last used point, indicated by a small red circle with a cross within on the screen. Is this the point of your confusion?
In newer LibreCAD versions the right X-Y readout has an @ at the beginning to put things clear.
