I want to pause the printing in order to change color filaments while printing a boat. I chose pause at height in Cura G code in order to switch filaments. The printing paused and then the display gave me options including the choice to change the filament. I chose change filament and then it said “waiting for filament change” and it just kept waiting. It did not automatically change the filament. There was no button that said continue. I manually changed the filament but there was no button that allowed me to say that the filament had changed. I had to turn off the 3D printer. I noticed when reading the forum that a lot of other people have had the same problem. Here are the settings I used for the post processing plugin. Are they correct?  
pause layer 60  
method BQ(M65)  
Disarm timeout 0  
park print head x 190  
park print head y 190  
retraction 0  
retraction speed 25  
extrude amount 0  
extrude speed 3.3333  
redo layer blank  
standbye temp 205  
display text refill time  
qcode before pause M300  
qcode after pause M300

Instead of using Pause, use Filament Change.
