Interesting, thanks Jake. I kinda figured there was some explanation for this. Since the camera never moves and I stay static at a workbench it should be easy to manual focus to get around the problem... thanks again....

You can also set it to autofocus on demand by half pressing the shutter button. That's what I do in my GX85 to avoid camera possibly hunting if I set it to continuously autofocus on its own.
