Ekos Solver Load & Slew Issue or not?

Yesterday i had my first change to run under clears sky's
It was really cool but also some question came up.

Capture & Solve Slew to target works great
Capture & Sync works also.
How ever when loading & Slew ends up in state where you can't use ekos any more

It solves the image and slews to target than it takes a images a start solving it say the target is with 00° 02' 33" degrees of solution coordinates an start slewing again
But it never stops as show below logs.

All capture options are greyed out, only when in mount tab you see "tracking OFF" it thinks it is still slewing but when enabling "tracking on" everting becomes operational normal. What can be the cause of this, I use the OnStep Mount controller

Also question i have how to force slew to target after median flip
