Extra purge on filament change

My XL has been working smoothly and I just ran out of my first spool.

The filament change works as expected, but the XL still has the annoying feature where it squirts out a bit of filament just before it moves over to start printing again.

With the MK3/MK4, you can usually grab it in time to avoid getting it entrained in the print, but it's a bit harder on the XL.

 

Anyone know why it does this? It's super annoying.

It needs to be there to be sure that the nozzle is pressurized before returning to the print. There will be always some delay/oozing between purging the new color and confirming the change from the user side.

Makes sense, but then I think the firmware needs to do a "clean up" step where it wipes this down.. Any way we can do this without a firmware update?
