Cooler Power not switched on after USB disconnect

Don't know if this is a SC bug or camera (Zwo ASI071MC Pro) specific.
When the USB gets disconnected (for whatever reason), SC tries to reconnect a few times and then gives a empty screen with the notice bar on top.
When then the camera is reconnected and opened again in SC, all used settings and connections are enabled again.
Except the Cooler Power: it stays at 0 and cooling is not doing anything, despite Cooling is set to On.
Only after closing SC and starting it again, Cooler Power is working again.
See attached log file of the first time.
Tested same scenario 2 times after that and same results.

Hi Menno,

I have an 071C, so I can have a play with that to see if I can work out what is going on. A first guess is that flipping the cooler to 'Off' and then back to 'On' may fix things without needing to restart - I have seen that sort of issue pop up before.

cheers,

Robin
