Switching from motors tab and back resets the motor status #4160

To Reproduce

Go to Motors tab. Tick "I understand the risks" and start motors using "Master" slider.
Switch to Power & Battery tab. In my case I needed to start motors to calibrate the current for medium throttle.
Switch back to Motors tab.

Result

There is motors hiccup. Probably due to tab initialization.
"I understand the risks" is off, master slider is at zero (motors are still rotating).

Expected behavior

There is no motors hiccup.
"I understand the risks" is on, master slider (or individual motors) positions are remembered.

Configurator version

v10.10.0

Define hiccup in relation to positions are remembered. Following is before and after saving settings on power tab.

I have probably messed up with initial description. Try these steps:

Switch on motors on "Motors" tab.
Go to "Power & Battery" tab. Make tiny change e.g. to voltage and press "Save" (probably will work on other tab as well). Result: FC beeps and motors stop.
Switch to "Motors" tab. "I understand the risks" is on, master slider is not zero (Betaflight thinks motors are rotating). Expected: master slider is at zero.

i believe the motors tab is designed not to reset the sliders so that a pilot could use other tabs for viewing. especially useful is the sensors tab. however, the action of saving has corrupted the environment.

i wonder if resetting some global motor variable when MSP is saved would be a solution.
