What is affected by this bug?

No way to abort the movement of motors in certain circumstances.

When does this occur?

When the motors are moving based on a non-scan command there is no way to stop their motion.

Where on the platform does it happen?

This has been noticed in the confocal scanner module but could affect others (untested by me so far).

How do we replicate the issue?

Get slow motors (such as nf_screws) to move a long way using the cursor. Try to abort motion while moving

Expected behavior (i.e. solution)

When the move has been ordered there should be a button that stop the motion of the motors regardless of why the are moving.

Other Comments

May have sample safety implications is the movement is going to crash optomechanics etc... into sampls (or vice versa).

This could be implemented in a safety GUI, showing laser + motion status and emergency stop (all + laser or motion) buttons.
