Why clicking Cancel on browser does not cancel print when SD card is used?

What is the problem?

I print using the SD card on my i3MK3S. When I clicked Cancel on my browser, the print process was stopped. However, unlike printing directly from Octoprint, it did not actually cancel the print because when I tried to print another file from the SD card, the nozzle would just start from the middle and printed mid-air. This has happened many times. How come?

What did you already try to solve it?

To prevent this from happening, I would need to go to the printer's LCD to choose Stop the print and Yes. Then, I could do the next print without issue.

I do believe the documentation even states that Octoprint cannot control the printer while it is printing from the SD card

You may insert a gcode script in OctoPrint after cancelling a printjob to "reset" the printer.

OctoPrint should have sent a command to the printer that tells it to cancel the SD print. So this should not happen. Why it happens is impossible to say without you sharing the requested information.
