Is this bug report about any UI (https://meshtastic.org/docs/configuration/device-uis/) component firmware?

• Meshtastic UI aka MUI
• InkHUD
• BaseUI

Firmware Version

2.8

Description

Bug Description

When setting position fixed position on app, the node inconsistently or not at all report location.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Flash XIAO nRF52840 with firmware v2.2
2. Set static position via CLI/Web UI:
   meshtastic --setlat <LAT> --setlon <LON> --set position.fixed_position true
3. Observe packet telemetry broadcasted over time or viewed on remote nodes.

Expected Behavior

The node should broadcast fixed lat/lon coordinates consistently.

Actual Behavior

Location updates inconsistently or not at all reported.

Relevant log output

#none

@JohanScheepers, Welcome to Meshtastic! 👋

Thanks for opening your first issue. If it's helpful, an easy way
to get logs is the "Open Serial Monitor" button on the Web Flasher.

If you have ideas for features, note that we often debate big ideas
in the discussions tab
first. This tracker tends to be for ideas that have community
consensus and a clear implementation.

We're very active on discord,
especially the #firmware and #alphanauts-testing channels. If you'll
be around for a while, we'd love to see you there!

Welcome to the community! ❤️
