Cache after deliver

Overnight I confirmed this behavior: if I have a fusion composition on the timeline that is not yet fully cached, go to the Deliver page and start a render... then after the render finishes, DR does not resume caching. This morning, when I switched back to the Edit page, the caching process resumed. Could have finished overnight... or perhaps used the frames rendered during the deliver to update the cache?

I would not expect Cache to engage on the Deliver page.

Why would it not resume if there is no deliver activity underway, when DR has identified it as pending work? The deliver page even shows where the cache is not yet done.

Perhaps I could have the option to "return to Edit" after rendering is done, so that cache can resume? It seems like hours of lost CPU/GPU time on a big render is unnecessary.

It occurs to me this is actually an enhancement request, not a bug. My apologies again.
