Disappearing Menu Options

Hello,

Having what I think are odd issues with my kit Mk2.

In short, I run a print, something goes wrong and I use the menu to stop the print. Upon stopping the extruder head moves up a little and backs off. So far so good.

I then go into the menu to move the Z axis up a bit so I can get at the nozzle to clean it, and there is no option to move Z. Just X, Y and the Extruder.

If I go to the Calibration menu, it has no options except to go back a level in the hierarchy. So I can't re-calibrate, auto-home or anything like that.

If I turn the printer off and on again, or press the rest button, those menu options return.

Is this normal behaviour, or is this indicating an issue?

When I'm done a few errands I'm going to give the beastie a once over, including electronics, but I thought I might ask about it and see if anyone has insight.

Cheers!

Kevin

There are plenty of bugs when you stop a print... i don't even use that option anymore, i just reset or turn off the printer as i find it way more reliable than using that option.
I suggest you to add your findings as "issues" on the firmware's github.
