This issue was causing my hotend to pause long enough to start damaging the build surface. I had to cancel the prints, and even after cancelling, it took an odd amount of time for the printer to become responsive again and move the z-axis up and away from the build surface being melted. I couldn't figure out why it was doing it and it was driving me nuts. I often use octoprint, but tried to print straight from microSD, and both methods had the same issue. For some reason, I didn't immediately think, "hey, maybe the slicer software I just updated today might be the issue..."
After some googling, I couldn't find any related posts. The only reason I was able to find this post was because I saw a comment on a recent youtube video that mentioned starting and stopping on an Ender 3 Pro using Cura 4.1 as the slicer. That got me to search for "cura 4.1 stopping", which eventually brought me here. I had a hunch that pausing might have something to do with z-hopping, and as I read more posts, it became more obvious.
After reading the details that rburema posted, I shared the gist in the youtube comments, so other folks don't spend so much time driving themselves crazy like i did. Thanks for the details, rburema!
