JGAurora A5 Firmware 1.1.8

Needless to say that I found an issue, well a couple, with what i believe to be the firmware.
So I ran out of filament a couple of days ago so once it happened I decided to give the whole power resume function a try. I got my new filament today and decided to start it back up and print where i left off. So i changed the filament and then made sure it was fed through to start printing again. Meaning i made sure it was extruding out the nozzle. So i hit resume and it started to move to the middle and what i assume is try and dump filament in in the middle of the bed which was of course where a print was. Didnt see anything come out (new filament is a different color). Then started to print and was going along for about a good minute and still nothing was coming out.
So I PRESSED PAUSE. Next thing i know is that the head shoves itself down into the print and makes the machine grind. I freaked out and went to the controls on the touch screen to move it up. Well the up button didnt work. It registered it as down. So here i am trying really hard to make sure that i am indeed pressing up and no it pushes down and grinds. So i thought that for some reason the buttons were reversed and pressed the down and nope it goes down still. I had to shut the machine off and then back on in order to get the up button to work correctly.
What do i need to change to make sure that this never happens again. If i cannot trust the controls or even the pause button to not screw up 4 hours of a print. Let alone make sure that it doesnt try and dump a large glob of filament in the middle after a resume
