When capturing a target, it may happen than guiding deviation suspends the capture until the guide star is repositioned to the lock position. If the Capture module is stopped by the Scheduler at that moment (programmatically as opposed to through the UI), the Capture module enters a weird state where the start/stop icon expectedly displays as a "start", but where it is not possible to load a new sequence or request a preview. Clicking the "start" button at that moment reveals that the state of the module is actually still "capturing" although no capture is taking place or can take place anymore. After clicking, the "start" button remains in state "start", but suddenly features are working again. This seems to be a side-effect or regression of the introduction of the suspend state. Stopping the capture programmatically doesn't restore the initial configuration.
Are you sure it's not CAPTURE_SUSPENDED? The logs should indicate why it was stopped (stopped, aborted, or suspended)
Is this still an issue in GIT?

Capture has changed so much that the description doesn't match anymore. I think this should remain closed now.
