Firmware bug: "pause" sometimes causes an unexposed layer - scriptfoo - 09-22-2021

Sometimes (depending on when the button is pressed?) "pause" causes a very shallow dip on the model surface along a single layer, not a problem. If the resin is not mixed with a very dark pigment, it is the only effect. However, in case of a dark heavily pigmented resin, it shows what the dip is about: it is a unexposed layer. Enough of a dark pigment and the dip changes into a model cut in two (as seen in the attached photo), because the light is not capable of "jumping" through the unexposed layer through the dark pigment.

The only workaround is to not use "pause" at all in case of very dark resins.

I use the latest firmware.
