I have a CEM120 and never use the hand controller for anything after setting the meridian flip correctly.

In the focus module, click the icon next to the filter, and check the "Auto Focus" checkbox next to each filter.

I had the same problem and ended up switching to use the TCP connection method and connecting the mount via ethernet. This has been rock solid for me.

They are named differently. In fact, one is a CEM120 and the other is an HDX110 using the EQ Mod driver.

Sorry, didn't grab them this time. But I've narrowed down the issue. I don't think it is necessarily in the Alignment module. I've got a complex setup with two people sharing a single observatory. When we both connect to the remote drivers that run the roof, gps, weather and watchdog, we get the issue, but when only one of us connects to those everything works fine.
Pier A has a Raspberry Pi running ubuntu 20.04, and latest stable indi drivers and indi web manager.
Pier B has a NUC running Xubuntu 20.04, latest stable KStars and indi.
Common Computer is a Raspberry Pi running Raspberry Pi OS Lite, and latest indi drivers and indi web manager from the astroberry repo. This runs the GPSD, OpenWeatherMap, Weather Meta, WatchDog and my own Roof driver.
Desktop A runs Xubuntu 20.04, KStars 3.5.3 and indi (not sure of version right now).
If both Desktop A KStars and the NUC on Pier B KStars connect to the running drivers on the Common Computer, I'm able to reproduce the problem. I'm now able to work around the issue while I do some more debugging. Just a hunch, but it feels like something is getting lost with multiple clients talking to drivers that want to snoop on a single telescope.

I was not able to reproduce this with the simulator. I'll try again tonight and see if I can nail down where the problem is.

Link to longer logs. I don't see any issues in the log other than when the mount starts tracking, analyze doesn't keep going. I had to manually click "Capture" each time to get it to advance. The solution results never plotted either.

When trying to do an alignment, I'm able to successfully solve, but the error doesn't show where it normally does, the position isn't graphed, and alignment doesn't continue to iterate to where it should.
I've attached the relevant portion of the logs:
