Description

Centos 7
RobotFramework 3.1.2
python 2.7.5
ride 1.7.4b2

I have a simple test case as follows:

Pause test
Log Test
Comment Pause Execution

If the Pause execution keyword is not commented out, it behaves as expected, a window comes up and the test continues when I click OK.

When it is commented out as shown, the window box does not come up however the test is still paused. I can then hit Continue button on the Run tab and the test will end, however the Start icon is still greyed out and I can't start another test until I kill and restart ride. Hitting Stop does not help here.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in RIDE 1.7.4b2 with Robot Framework 3.1.2 and Python 2.7.5 using the shown test case. Compare behavior with Pause Execution active and commented out, then verify that Continue or Stop leaves the Start control usable for another test.
