Indeed, occasionally, the [Stop] button may not be able to abort the connection already in progress. This issue is caused by a bug in one of the components, provided by Microsoft, and it is unlikely that they will fix it.

This has now been confirmed to be an issue with the [Amadeus: Enhanced] Seat Map Engine -- given the amount of interpretation that is involved, engines, sometimes, get confused by complex cabin layouts, such as the one in question...

Needless to say, seats 1E/F do not exist:
