Bug locks up controller after stop sometimes

After hitting stop (not E-stop) controller sometimes left in state where no motion is possible. Sometimes it seems to work, maybe after a while, other times the controller becomes unresponsive. Display seems fine, menus work, but any motion command gives a message that it’s not connected. Reloading page doesn’t work. Only shutting it all the way down, and re-homing and zeroing gets things moving again, which is painful if the coordinate setup is time-consuming, and/or consistency-challenged. Don’t want it to move automatically (as suggested in other post) given undercuts and, e.g., a buried T-slot cutter, but need to be able to move it and restart. (Is there a more appropriate place for this post? Didn’t see a bug report category.)

It’s a bug that will be fixed in the next release.
