Start at the Ergolever and consider the routing/position of the housing.
Well OFG you've got me intrigued. But this problem was not happening before, and then it started happening. So if it's a housing seating/routing issue, that would suggest the housing was seated/routed OK and then settled badly after some use. I'm puzzled but I can look into that.

Also intrigued because I did position the Ergos kind of high on the bars, which I seem to need for a comfortable fit. (photo)

But I am stumped as to why that would have an effect on FD shifting like this. Can you share more on that?
