twinponds169: You have to be very careful when putting the dot down full back, that you click again to lock in the green color. Otherwise, when you bring the meter back the spin dot goes up with it, moving to red and full top
I've been having the same problem for the last few months, and came up with the same solution. Click and drag to set the desired spin...then click again to lock the dot in place. A bit annoying...but once you've done it a number of times it becomes second nature.
