Auto Pause Malfunctioning (Forerunner 305)

I run/cycle within city limits so the Auto Pause feature is very handy except that lately it has not been working properly. It will switch on/off while I'm in motion, often pausing for minutes at length until I either stop/restart the time or switch it off entirely and restart it. Likewise, this morning on a test run it paused correctly when I came to a full stop, but after a minute or so of being motionless it began running on it's own.

The Tech Support (love you guys) yesterday did a full reset of the satellite info and that seemed (for now) to fix some of the "Lost Signal" issues I have also been experiencing (knock on wood) - even on clear days no less - so I'd really like to figure out this "Auto Pause" problem as well. Right now, I just have it switched off altogether but I hate starting/stopping it even few minutes when I come to a light, etc.

Any suggestions? Anyone experienced this before. My Garmin Forerunner 305 is 4-years-old now. Please tell me it's not giving up the ghost.
