"Inverted" ABL Correction Matrix?

I'm having a frustrating experience.

First off, things have gone well for a long time. But I changed my print surface so I had to run the ABL routine again. I have it set to Bilinear. My bed is pretty flat as it is, but I have it ABL anyway.

Now with my new print surface, I'm less level (go figure), but I figure ABL will correct.

However, when I print... the left side is tight and the right side is loose. When I bring the Z down, the left side is SUPER tight and the right side is even more loose. Huh?

I started to wonder if the matrix that's being measured isn't being applied right? Like something is inverted that shouldn't be (or vice versa). I'm not sure what to check. Honestly, I'm not even sure what info you would need to help me check. So please be kind and let me know what you need to know to get me where I need to be.

I'll start with the M420 -V output, though I doubt on its own that's any help to you:

Send: M420 V
Recv: Bed Level Correction Matrix:+1.000000 +0.000000 -0.000136
Recv: -0.000000 +1.000000 -0.000970
Recv: +0.000136 +0.000970 +1.000000

Recv: ok

This is a CR-10 running stock Marlin. This is the output from M115:

What is the new bed material, and what type of probe are you using ?

You may be running into this issue: [github.com]

The reason for the flaw is not currently known. You might want to switch to a different bed leveling system until this is fixed.

Glass vs glass... just a different sheet. Using capacitive sensor.

Yeah, that sounds like what I'm experiencing.

FYI Linear and Bilinear both have the "effect". I haven't tried 3 point and my system (CR-10) can't handle UBL. At least not without some serious feature trimming (I tried axing beeper and SD but that wasn't even close to enough).

Are capacitive proximetry sensors accurate enough with glass ?

Is it possible the capacitive sensor is actually getting reflections off your alluminium bed.

Sure they are. Inductive wouldn't be (well, it would be, it would just be measuring the wrong surface). These things don't "reflect", per se. A capacitive sensor is the appropriate tool for a glass bed. It would be fine for metal too, but if you have metal then I'd suggest inductive because it doesn't suffer as much from environmental influences (humidity, primarily).
