PrusaControl ColorPrint - Dribbles more filament before continuing
I've found a consistent situation where, after loading a 2nd color, removing it from the nozzle, and confirming the color is clear, that the nozzle dribbles out a small amount of filament and then immediately continues the print. This has caused this extra filment to be stuck to my prints where I need to remove them after the print (best case scenario) or pause the print because this filament is actually interfering with the print.
Anyone else encounter this, and if so is there an easy way to resolve it?

common issue.
after loading the second colour, the printer will dribble to clear previous colour, don't pull this off. just grab it with fingers or tweezers and hold on...
with the other hand, press the button to continue, the printer will dribble a little more, then move back to the print, s the printer moves back to the print, you will be left holding the waste material including the last dribble

Thanks Joan! I kept pulling off the long one and then getting skilled at grabbing the short one but your method is considerably simpler, and I'm a bit embarrassed I didn't think of it sooner.
Thanks!
EDIT: Not sure why I can't mark a "best answer", but if it lets me I will.
