The normal, designed response is that any dragging of the model during a
measurement terminates the pending measurement. You must start again. If
that is all the problem is, then that's by design.
If the problem is that you lose some control over a pending measurement but
it continues to be in effect, then that's a bug.

If nature does not answer first what we want,
it is better to take what answer we get.

Want excitement?
Manually upgrade your production database.
When you want reliability, choose Perforce.
Perforce version control. Predictably reliable.
