befor edit maskfile from the webfrontend - (example mask_1.pgm)

root@MotionEyeOS-eau90:/home/steffen# cd /etc/motioneye/
root@MotionEyeOS-eau90:/etc/motioneye# exiftool -p '$Filename $ImageSize' *.pgm
mask_1.pgm 320x240
mask_2.pgm 320x240
mask_3.pgm 640x480
mask_4.pgm 640x480
mask_5.pgm 1280x720
mask_6.pgm 720x480
mask_7.pgm 1280x720
mask_8.pgm 1280x720
mask_9.pgm 1280x720
    9 image files read

editing edit maskfile mask_1.pgm from the webfrontend -
Result -

root@MotionEyeOS-eau90:/etc/motioneye# exiftool -p '$Filename $ImageSize' *.pgm
mask_1.pgm 256x192
mask_2.pgm 320x240
mask_3.pgm 640x480
mask_4.pgm 640x480
mask_5.pgm 1280x720
mask_6.pgm 720x480
mask_7.pgm 1280x720
mask_8.pgm 1280x720
mask_9.pgm 1280x720
    9 image files read

an the effect is, motion detection works not for Camera 1

Unfavorable workaround -

root@MotionEyeOS-eau90:/etc/motioneye# convert -size 256x192  mask_1.pgm -resize 320x240 mask_1.pgm
root@MotionEyeOS-eau90:/etc/motioneye# exiftool -p '$Filename $ImageSize' *.pgm
mask_1.pgm 320x240
mask_2.pgm 320x240
mask_3.pgm 640x480
mask_4.pgm 640x480
mask_5.pgm 1280x720
mask_6.pgm 720x480
mask_7.pgm 1280x720
mask_8.pgm 1280x720
mask_9.pgm 1280x720
    9 image files read

an the effect is, motion detection works fine for Camera 1

i think it is the same problem like - https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/issues/677
So far I found no solution for it, did you have an idea?
It did not work with previous versions from motioneye.
thank you in advance, and thanks for the good software

Please upgrade to motion 4.0 if you want to use a mask.
