issu with "auto load filament" function

Just finnished my upgrade to 2.5 and found maybe some kind of "bug".

first layer calibration is always done with PLA (even if my last print was with ABS and the printer cannot know this, it doesnt heat up enough to push out the last bits of ABS. so it is struggling to get the PLA in).

After my calibration, I wanted to load ABS again to start printing again.
Not knowing what "auto load" meant, i pushed in the filament and the extruder immidiately started to grab it.
I was a little suprised about that and as a reaction i pulled out the filament before the extruder could grab it.

Now the "problem":
Filament sensor is on, und it should detect the missing filament, but it didn't. It kept moving until I cut the power 3 sec. later.

I don't know what would happen if I would have let it run the loading procedure.
Maybe it should stop loading procedure if filament is gone.

cheers
Alex
