Test restarts at the beginning of a test sequence even if the recovery point is defined inside the sequence

If an active test procedure contains several user-defined restore points in different places of the procedure and the procedure is stopped for some reason before one of these points is reached, the user can select a restore point when restarting the procedure. However, even if a restore point is selected, the test procedure starts at the beginning and not at the selected restore point.

Workaround:

Add a recovery point at the beginning of the test procedure table.

Sending to Test Station from an editor generates the wrong component

Move all groups other than the test components to a separate folder.
