Raytrace display mode controls

I find the controls in the status line of the Raytrace vieport quite confusing. Are these features documented anywhere?
For example, how do exactly the padlock and the star work?
Also, when the rendering is Completed and I press Pause, it changes the status to Rendering… but nothing is happening. Clicking the Play button changes the status back to Completed.

pause, does just that- pauses the rendering. If the rendering is completed, there is nothing to pause so the report of paused/rendering is moot

the star turns on or off any post effects like denoisers, glow, bloom etc. denoisers run while the renderer is running, glow, bloom, etc run after it’s complete.

padlock keeps you from rotating or changing the viewport.

the number counter on the right can be double clicked and you can change the samples higher or lower.

Thanks Kyle.
