Coasting in the GCode? No Coasting setting in the Slicer.

I am implementing a GCODE reader for a tool I'm making. I've done this before with an older version of Prusa Slicer but I'm facing a weird problem this time.

Prusa Slicer seems to implement some sort of "coasting" that is confusing my GCODE reader and making it mistake print moves for travel moves. 

Here's an example:

G1 X99.054 Y95.585 E0.03540
G1 X99.222 Y95.920 F10800.000
G1 F1200.000
G1 X100.302 Y95.692 E0.03461

Note line 2 of the code above. It doesn't extrude any filament. That gives it a gap in my reader:

This gap does not exist when I open the same gcode file in PrusaSlicer's GCODE viewer. 

How can I turn this coasting off? Or better still how does Prusa Slicer know that this is a print move?
