Can't reboot with ctrl+D in Thonny

When I do ctrl + D to go back to the device after uploading an app, it crashes. I need to unplug and plug back in to have it work again.

Thonny 4.1.7
VOBOT v1.2.0

I realized that this is the same problem as Black screen when testing app. It would be really, really helpful to do a soft reboot of the system rather than needing to do a hard reboot.
