Revision history [back]

I've had a similar issue; in my case, the problem was in the recovery behavior. If the goal is unreachable (or outside the global costmap etc.) then the recovery behavior is started and no other goal is accepted during the process. So if the recovery is rotate recovery then the robot needs to successfully finish the rotation after which it accepts the new goal.
